Exploring future changes in land use and carbon storage (CS) under different climate
scenarios is important for optimizing regional ecosystem service functions and formulating …

Over 140 Mha of restoration commitments have been pledged across the global tropics, yet
guidance is needed to identify those landscapes where implementation is likely to provide …

Exploring the spatial distribution of land use/cover change (LUCC) and ecosystem carbon
storage under future climate change scenarios can provide the scientific basis for optimizing …

Land use change is a major threat to biodiversity. One mechanism by which land use
change influences biodiversity and ecological processes is through changes in the local …

There is compelling evidence from glacial and interglacial periods of the Quaternary of the
utilization of microrefugia. Microrefugia are sites that support locally favorable climates …

Modern climate change is producing poleward range shifts of numerous taxa, communities
and ecosystems worldwide. The response of species to changing environments is likely to …

We offer a conceptual framework for managing forested ecosystems under an assumption
that future environments will be different from present but that we cannot be certain about the …

Emerging insights from adaptive and community-based resource management suggest that
building resilience into both human and ecological systems is an effective way to cope with …
