Since 16 per cent of the country's GDP stems from agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, the government has identified these sectors as priority areas in its climate strategies including the National Adaptation Programme and Nationally Determined Contribution. The ‘Scaling up the implementation of the Lao PDR Emission Reductions Programme (Project 2)’ aims to address ...
Once again, these past few weeks have delivered extreme climate events around the world at an unprecedented scale. Forest fires scarring the US, Europe hit by record-setting heatwaves, and droughts ruining crops meaning further food shortages. ...
The benefits to society overall is a reduction in - deforestation, illegal logging, costs of forest management, forest fires, and costs of forest mapping. Who Can Use Precision Forestry? ...
You need weigh scale software to run your forestry business properly. Weigh scaling is the determination of the gross and net volume of logs. ...
The detail that is often overlooked in this analysis is that the carbon sequestration rate does not remain constant once you scale the example out from one single tree to an entire forest. At the landscape scale, the rate at which carbon is re-sequestered increases exponentially, and with sustainable forest management practices ...
But it depends on where those forests are. “In South America, Africa and South Asia the majority of forests depend on animals,” he says. ...

The aim of this study was to examine the abilities of the mesoscale ecohydrological model Soil And Water Integrated Model (SWIM) to simulate discharge, soil moisture, and groundwater dynamics in a small-scale forested catchment. Moreover, the influence of two lateral flow computation techniques on the simulation efficiency was assessed. ...
Peat soils contain even more carbon than the forests (10 to 30 times more). Peat forests are increasingly destroyed in order to make way for oil palm planta-tions. ...
In the case of wetlands, there are no studies at a regional scale, as there are for forests, since its monitoring is much more complex. ...
The present study describes the process of combining existing data and models to develop a robust starting point for eco‐epidemiological analyses of watersheds over large geographic scales. Data resources from multiple federal and local agencies representing a range of biological, chemical, physical, toxicological, and other landscape factors across the state of Ohio (2000–2007) ...
Lessons from these countries can not only provide insights into what works, but also inspire others to restore. Forest Landscape Restoration in Action History tells us that large-scale forest landscape restoration is possible. ...
The Aberdares region contains a rich diversity of vegetation. There are several ancient forests in the region like Kereita Forest which is at the core of the project area; this forest is at the southern-most end of the Aberdare range and several kilometres from Kimende, the local centre of population and shopping centre. This ...
Working forests offer a new model for scaling up the amount of publicly protected forestland in the South. ...

Natural habitat loss continues at an alarming rate: even though the net loss in forest area is slowing at the global scale, about 13 million ha of natural forests were converted to agriculture between 2000 and 2005 (FAO, 2006). ...
As of 2007, the shrinking forests in the tropical regions were releasing 2.2 billion tons of carbon per year. Meanwhile, expanding forests in the temperate regions were absorbing 0.7 billion tons of carbon annually. ...
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol purports to support sustainable development in host developing countries whilst simultaneously achieving climate change mitigation. This paper uses a case study in Peru to analyze how existing legal and policy structures of the CDM influence its ability to meet these dual aims. It focuses on the CDM’s small-scale modalities, which have ...
In fact, as far as forestry goes, this nation is endowed with over a fifth of the planet’s forests, or 720 million hectares. “It is therefore reasonable to consider forest biomass as the main renewable energy source in the country,” suggests Prof. ...
Results from four successful tracer experiments carried out in a dense forest canopy are presented. For each experiment, sulphur hexafluoride SF6 was released from a point source in trunk space and air samples were collected at 19 horizontally distributed locations in the canopy. Meteorological measurements include fast-response turbulence data recorded at several locations in and above the ...
Field dispersal studies are seldom conducted at regional scales even though reliable information on mid-range dispersal distance is essential for models of colonization. ...
