Thinning, a major measure of forest management, is known to alter carbon sequestration by
affecting the forest microclimate and soil environmental conditions. However, how thinning …

The crucial need to adopt integrated agricultural systems (IAS) as to resolve the challenges
threatening human and planetary health at all levels has created strong paradigm in the …

Resource exploitation markedly alters land use and ecological carbon storage, posing risks
to carbon sinks and food security. This study analyzes land-use change from 1990 to 2020 …

Mangrove ecosystems are pivotal to the global carbon budget. However, there is still a
dearth of research addressing the impact of regional mangrove land use and land cover …

Ziel des Kapitels 5 ist, die Zusammenhänge zwischen Biodiversität und wichtigen
Ökosystemfunktionen zu beschreiben. Anhand von ausgewählten Beispielen und Befunden …

Biodiversity loss, driven by human activities, has emerged as a global concern with far-
reaching implications for ecosystems, economies, and public health. It is essential for the …

This chapter highlights the importance of wood density (WD) in estimating biomass, focusing
on the crucial role of carbon sequestration by terrestrial vegetation in mitigating greenhouse …

The density of wood is a key indicator of trees' carbon investment strategies, impacting
productivity and carbon storage. Despite its importance, the global variation in wood density …

In this chapter we address the research needs in functional and evolutionary traits of WD
based on the studies already done in this field. Wood formation is a complex process that is …
