Canada's managed boreal forest, 54% of the nation's total boreal forest area, stores 28 Pg
carbon (C) in biomass, dead organic matter, and soil pools. The net C balance is dominated …

Before the end of this century, tropical rainforests will be subject to climatic conditions that
have not existed anywhere on Earth for millions of years. These forests are the most species …

Land-use change occurs nowhere more rapidly than in the tropics, where the imbalance
between deforestation and forest regrowth has large consequences for the global carbon …

Aim Tropical forests store 25% of global carbon and harbour 96% of the world's tree species,
but it is not clear whether this high biodiversity matters for carbon storage. Few studies have …

Tropical forests are globally important, but it is not clear whether biodiversity enhances
carbon storage and sequestration in them. We tested this relationship focusing on …

1. Forests account for a substantial part of the terrestrial biomass storage and productivity.
To better understand forest productivity, we need to disentangle the processes underlying …

Tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle, but the drivers of net forest
biomass change (ie net carbon sequestration) are poorly understood. Here, we evaluate …

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) are globally extensive but understudied, especially
from a biogeochemical perspective. Historically, much of the land covered by SDTF has …

Disturbances are widespread and may affect community assembly, species composition,(
functional) diversity and hence ecosystem processes. It remains still unclear to what extent …

Efficient and effective solid waste management requires sufficient ability to predict the
operational capacity of a system correctly. Waste prediction models have been widely …
