Tree diversity is fundamental for forest ecosystem stability and services. However, because of limited available data, estimates of tree diversity at large geographic domains still rely...
The Forest Sector Outlook Study, 2020-2040 provides information for the UNECE region that supports decisionmaking by showing the possible medium- and long-term consequences of specific policy choices and structural...
This report provides an overview of sustainability in the forestry sector. It sets out the benefits for society, describes the regulatory environment and examines the challenges encountered by companies and investors operating...
The SBTi’s FLAG Guidance provides the world’s first standard method for companies in land-intensive sectors to set science-based targets that include land-based emission reductions and removals. The guidance...
Despite an increasing attention on the role of land in meeting countries’ climate pledges under the Paris Agreement, the range of estimates of carbon fluxes from Land Use, Land-Use Change...
Global forestation and deforestation affect remote climate via adjusted atmosphere and ocean circulation
Forests can store large amounts of carbon and provide essential ecosystem services. Massive tree planting is thus sometimes portrayed as a panacea to mitigate climate change...
Establishing protected areas (PAs) is important for the conservation of species but more data is needed on their effectiveness.
Drawing on a large data set from previous observational studies worldwide...
This document summarizes the design process, definitions, and algorithmic implementation conducted by the Joint Research Centre to support the development and implementation of a global analysis of forest attribute layers. The analysis...
Tropical forests take up more carbon (C) from the atmosphere per annum by photosynthesis than any other type of vegetation. Phosphorus (P) limitations to C uptake are paramount...
