Large carbon sink potential of secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon to mitigate climate changeBackground:Open access copy available |
The carbon sink of secondary and degraded humid tropical forestsBackground:The Forest and Land use Declaration from the 26th Climate Change Conference of the Parties underscores the crucial role of tropical moist forests as a nature-based solution to address climate and ecological emergencies. However, the Amazon, Borneo, and Central Africa forests experience ongoing forest cover losses due to various anthropogenic drivers. This has led to a mosaic of recovering forests at different stages post-disturbance, with limited understanding of their impact on forest carbon dynamics. Available with subscription or purchase |

Medición y evaluación de parcelas de restauraciónDentro del marco del programa de reforestación y restauración, se llevan a cabo actividades de evaluación de la mortalidad y mediciones periódicas de las plantas en campo. Estas actividades brindan importante informacion acerca del desempeño de las especies, como por ejemplo supervivencia o crecimiento primario y secundario. Información que es escencial para la restauración de áreas degradadas por la minería. Este documento busca describir en detalle los procedimientos recomendados para llevar a cabo evaluaciones de la mortalidad y desarrollo anual de parcelas de restauración -- Open access copy available |

Forty Years of Tropical Forest Recovery from Agriculture: Structure and Floristics of Secondary and Old-growth Riparian Forests in the Dominican RepublicBACKGROUND:The value of secondary forests in the tropics has received increased attention in recent years. The recovery of tropical forests from agricultural use, given the increase in abandoned agricultural lands, has gained momentum. Yet, few long-term studies of post-agriculture vegetation recovery in the tropics exist. The study compares 40-year-old secondary forests regenerating naturally after agricultural abandonment with old-growth forests in the Dominican Republic's Cordillera Central.
