Habitats have been undergoing significant changes due to environmental processes and human impact that lead into habitat fragmentation and connectivity loss. To improve quality habitats and maintain...
Land use/cover change analysis in the Mediterranean region: a regional case study of forest evolution in Castelló (Spain) over 50 years
The second half of the 20th century has been characterised by the rural abandonment in several regions of the Mediterranean basin. The general collapse of traditional agriculture and livestock activities brought...
Evidence exists that tree mortality is accelerating in some regions of the tropics, with profound consequences for the future of the tropical carbon sink and the global anthropogenic carbon budget left to limit...
Study finds that trees cool the planet by one-third of a degree through biophysical mechanisms such as humidifying the air.
A consumer-driven bioeconomy in housing? Combining consumption style with students' perceptions of the use of wood in multi-storey buildings
Consumer acceptance of new bio-based products plays a key role in the envisioned transition towards a forest-based bioeconomy. Multi-storey wooden buildings (MSWB) exemplify a modern, bio-based...
The resilience of the Amazon rainforest to climate and land-use change is crucial for biodiversity, regional climate and the global carbon cycle. Deforestation and climate change, via increasing dry-season length and drought...
Developing forest-based bioeconomy in the Region of North Karelia, Finland : Opportunities in co-operation with China
The region of North Karelia, Finland, has a strong forest-based bioeconomy sector. This report describes the region’s opportunities for increasing co-operation in forest-based bioeconomy with China. The forest-based bioeconomy...
The Amazon forest is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, which houses about 10% of the Earth’s biodiversity and 16% of the world’s total river discharge into the oceans. However, the Amazon...
In the tropics, variation in aboveground live tree biomass carbon (AGC) stocks is poorly understood in montane forests, and especially so for African nations where montane forests...
