Think globally, measure locally: The MIREN standardized protocol for monitoring plant species distributions along elevation gradients by Haider, Sylvia, Lembrechts, Jonas J., McDougall, Keith, Pauchard, Aníbal, Alexander, Jake M., Barros, Agustina, Cavieres, Lohengrin A., Rashid, Irfan, Rew, Lisa J., Aleksanyan, Alla, Dimarco, Romina Daniela, Seipel, Tim

“…Here, we present a conceptually intuitive and standardized protocol developed by the Mountain Invasion Research Network (MIREN) to systematically quantify global patterns of native and non-native species distributions along elevation gradients and shifts arising from interactive effects of climate change and human disturbance. Usually repeated every five years, surveys consist of 20 sample sites located at equal elevation increments along three replicate roads per sampling region. …”

Bioenergy from the forest – a source of conflict between forestry and nature conservation? : an analysis of key actor’s positions in Sweden by Wallin, Ida

“…Bioenergy from the forest has been heavily debated in Sweden for several decades due to the interest of society to decrease dependence upon fossil fuels and limit the effects of climate change. The actual use of bioenergy from the forest has shifted over the years but increased during the last decades. …”

An analysis of the water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) nexus for Nepal by Pokharel, B. K., Nepal, Santosh, Baral, S., Gauchan, D., Karki, S., Pandey, V. P., Vaidya, A., Aryal, Anil, Baral, T., Devkota, S., Dhakal, M., Gnawali, K., KC, Sumitra, Khadka, Manohara, Mishra, Anuj, Neupane, Nilhari, Ojha, R., Pandey, P. R., Pradhan, M., Shrestha, Shisher, Tachamo, R. D., Timsina, K., Buchy, Marlene, Gentle, P., Gyawali, D., Paudyal, B. R., Pradhan, M. S., Thapa, B. R.

“…These include the interconnectedness of resource systems and recognizing and managing the interdependencies among water, energy, food and ecosystems; Nepal’s climate change vulnerabilities and enhancing resilience against climate-induced risks; global commitments in alignment with international obligations and sustainable development goals (SDGs); resource governance and achieving equitable and efficient resource management; and cross-sectoral climate impacts, and hence the need to address the comprehensive effects of climate change on resources. Essentially, the WEFE nexus needs to be promoted in national policies, plans and strategies to ensure sustainable development. …”

Climatic controls of decomposition drive the global biogeography of forest tree symbioses by Steidinger, B. S., Crowther, T. W., Liang, J., Van Nuland, M. E., Werner, G. D. A., Reich, P. B., Nabuurs, G., de-Miguel, S., Zhou, M., Picard, N., Herault, B., Zhao, X., Zhang, C., Routh, D., Peri, Pablo Luis

“…The identity of the dominant root-associated microbial symbionts in a forest determines the ability of trees to access limiting nutrients from atmospheric or soil pools1,2, sequester carbon3,4 and withstand the effects of climate change5,6. Characterizing the global distribution of these symbioses and identifying the factors that control this distribution are thus integral to understanding the present and future functioning of forest ecosystems. …”

De-risking Lending in Ghana’s Cocoa Sector to Promote Climate Smart Cocoa Adoption – Proposed Framework by Dalaa, Mustapha Alasan, Saeed, Abdul-Razak, Deffor, Eric Worlanyo, Kofituo, Rich Kofi, Asare, Richard

“…To reduce the impact of climate change on the Ghanaian Cocoa Sector, the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) through the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Ghana together with its partner, Rainforest Alliance has recently documented and aligned Climate Smart Cocoa practices across the three impact zones (Cope, Adjust and Transform) to help farmers mitigate the effects of climate change. However, to achieve this, the adoption of improved agricultural and climate-smart practices must be promoted in the sector. …”

Natural forests loss and tree plantations: Large - scale tree cover loss differentation in a threatened dioviversity hotspot. by Altamirano, Adison, Miranda, Alejandro, Aplin, Paul, Carrasco, Jaime, Catalan, Germán, Cayuela, Luis, Fuentes Castillo, Taryn, Hernández, Angela, Martinez - Harms, María J., Peluso, Franco, Prado, Marco, Reyes - Rivero, Rosa, Van Holt, Tracy, Vergara, Cristian, Zamorano - Elgueta, Carlos, Di Bella, Carlos Marcelo

“…Tree planting as a solution has gained increased attention in recen years with ambitious commitments to mitigate the effects of climate change. However, negative outcomes for the environment could result if strategies incentivize the replacement of natural forests into other land covers. …”
