Spatial congruence between carbon and biodiversity across forest landscapes of northern Borneo por Labrière, N., Locatelli, Bruno, Vieilledent, G., Kharisma, S., Basuki, I., Gond, Valéry, Laumonier, Y.

“…Understanding how carbon and biodiversity vary across tropical forest landscapes is essential to achieving effective conservation of their respective hotspots in a global context of high deforestation. Whether conservation strategies aimed at protecting carbon hotspots can provide co-benefits for biodiversity protection, and vice versa, highly depends on the extent to which carbon and biodiversity co-occur at the landscape level. …”
