Changes in forest structure values along the natural cycle and different management strategies in Nothofagus antarctica forests by Martínez Pastur, Guillermo José, Rosas, Yamina Micaela, Chaves, Jimena Elizabeth, Cellini, Juan Manuel, Barrera, Marcelo Daniel, Favoretti Bondar, Santiago, Lencinas, María Vanessa, Peri, Pablo Luis

“…The aim was to determine changes in forest structure values along the natural cycle and human impacts generated by rural timber, pastoral and silvopastoral uses in managed, unmanaged, and transformed Nothofagus antarctica forests of Tierra del Fuego (Argentina), as well as in some associated environments (grasslands). We sampled 145 sites to determine landscape characterization, microclimate, soil properties, debris, forest structure and regeneration under different conditions: (i) six phases of natural forest dynamic (even-and uneven-aged), (ii) four types of management and conversion alternatives with and without natural regeneration, and (iii) forest edges and grasslands. …”

Minimum emission pathways to triple Africa’s cereal production by 2050 by Ittersum, Martin K. van, Hijbeek, Renske, Berge, Hein F.M. ten, Loon, Marloes P. van, Boogaard, Hendrik L., Tesfaye, Kindie

“…Increases in cereal yields are very slow in most SSA countries and agricultural area expansion is still an important means to keep up with the growing demand, causing losses of forests or grasslands, thereby reducing carbon stocks. At the same time the Paris Conference of the Parties (COP21) Agreement aims to keep global warming below 2 °C or even 1.5 °C by 2100. …”
