Suitability of large-scale tree plantation models in Africa, Asia and Latin America for forest landscape restoration objectives by Péroches, A., Baral, H., Chesnes, M., López Sampson, A., Lescuyer, G.

“…They supply almost half of global demand, as well as supporting a diversity of ecosystem services. In tropical and subtropical areas, where tree growth is optimum and large tracts of land are available, forest restoration is presented as one of the most effective strategies for climate change mitigation. …”

Modelling the impacts of diverse cover crops on soil water and nitrogen and cash crop yields in a sub-tropical dryland by Garba, I.I., Bell, L.W., Chapman, S.C., Voil, P. de, Kamara, A., Williams, A.

“…We modelled the impacts of different cover crop functional types over historical climate to predict how climate variability influences soil water and N acquisition and subsequent availability to a maize crop in a dryland farming system of subtropical Australia. Following local validation of simulation models (APSIM) with 3-site-years of field data, 70 years of crop-fallow rotations were simulated comparing conventional fallow against a diverse range of cover crops comprising monocultures and mixtures of grass vs. legume vs. brassica. …”

An expert system model for mapping tropical wetlands and peatlands reveals South America as the largest contributor by Gumbricht, Thomas, Román Cuesta, Rosa María, Verchot, Louis V., Herold, Martin, Wittmann, Florian, Householder, Ethan, Herold, Nadine, Murdiyarso, Daniel

“…We present an expert system approach to estimate wetland and peatland areas, depths and volumes, which relies on three biophysical indices related to wetland and peat formation: (1) long-term water supply exceeding atmospheric water demand; (2) annually or seasonally water-logged soils; and (3) a geomorphological position where water is supplied and retained. Tropical and subtropical wetlands estimates reach 4.7 million km2 (Mkm2). …”
