The expansion of agroforestry could provide substantial climate change mitigation (up to
0.31 Pg C yr− 1), comparable to other prominent natural climate solutions such as …

Restoring species diversity is proposed as a strategy to improve ecosystem resistance to
extreme droughts, but the impact of species diversity on resistance has not been evaluated …

Mitigating climate change cost-effectively requires identifying least-cost-per-ton GHG
abatement methods. Here, we estimate and map GHG abatement cost (US pertCO2) …

Context Forest disturbance and management can significantly affect water quality. The
understanding of the quantitative relationships between forest change/forest landscape …

One-third of global forest is harvested for timber, generating~ US $1.5 trillion annually. High-
severity wildfires threaten this timber production. Here we combine global maps of logging …

Targeting degraded areas in forested landscapes for restoration could deliver rapid climate
mitigation and biodiversity conservation, improve resilience of forested lands to future …

Planted forests are critical to climate change mitigation and constitute a major supplier of
timber/non-timber products and other ecosystem services. Globally, approximately 36% of …

Human activities have altered disturbance patterns in many parts of world, but there is no
quantitative information on patterns and trends of forest disturbance regimes in China. We …

Timber and agricultural production must both increase throughout this century to meet rising
demand. Understanding how climate-induced shifts in agricultural suitability will trigger …

Countries have pledged to different national and international environmental agreements,
most prominently the climate change mitigation targets of the Paris Agreement. Accounting …
