Amazonia hosts the Earth’s largest tropical forests and has been shown to be an important carbon sink over recent decades. This carbon sink seems to be...
Kelp forests are globally important and highly productive ecosystems, yet their persistence and protection in the face of climate change and human activity are poorly known...
The need for accurate information on the state and evolution of tropical forest types at regional and continental scales is widely recognized, particularly to analyze the forest diversity and dynamics, to assess degradation...
Statistical, data-driven methods are considered good alternatives to process-based models for the sub-national monitoring of cereal crop yields since they can flexibly handle large datasets...
Created in 2007, the Central African Forest Observatory (OFAC) is a specialised unit of the Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC) which provides up-to-date and relevant data on the region's...
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and enhancing carbon stocks (REDD+) is a crucial component of global climate change mitigation. Systematically measuring, reporting and verifying forest...
