Tropical forests make an approximately neutral contribution to the global carbon cycle, with
intact and recovering forests taking in as much carbon as is released through deforestation …

Tropical woody plants store∼ 230 petagrams of carbon (PgC) in their aboveground living
biomass. This review suggests that these stocks are currently growing in primary forests at …

A comprehensive quantification of global forest fragmentation is urgently required to guide
forest protection, restoration and reforestation policies. Previous efforts focused on the static …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Accurate characterization of tropical moist forest changes is needed to support conservation
policies and to quantify their contribution to global carbon fluxes more effectively. We …

With the increasing concerns of global economic recovery and climate change, the
improvement of carbon emission efficiency has become extremely significant to get rid of …

Large areas of tropical forests have been lost through deforestation, resulting in fragmented
forest landscapes. However, the dynamics of forest fragmentation are still unknown …

Although deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon are well known, the extent of the area
affected by forest degradation is a notable data gap, with implications for conservation …

Remote sensing enables the quantification of tropical deforestation with high spatial
resolution,. This in-depth map** has led to substantial advances in the analysis of …

Tropical forest degradation from selective logging, fire and edge effects is a major driver of
carbon and biodiversity loss,–, with annual rates comparable to those of deforestation …
