Multivariate mapping of spatial variation in biodiversity in Peruvian Amazonia
Sam Rose,Alan Grainger +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new combined nominal-numerical classification system was proposed to map variation of biodiversity over 72,600 km2 of tropical rain forests using multiple characteristics using a combination of nominal and numerical classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response to comment on "the extent of forest in dryland biomes"
Jean-François Bastin,Jean-François Bastin,Danilo Mollicone,Alan Grainger,Ben Sparrow,Nicolas Picard,Andrew J. Lowe,Rene Castro +7 more
TL;DR: The authors explain why the differences they report result from a difference of technique and not of definition, and how anyone can adapt—as they did—their data set to any forest definition and tree cover threshold of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing Global Environmental Uncertainties in Reports of Tropical Forest Carbon Fluxes to REDD+ and the Paris Agreement Global Stocktake
Alan Grainger,Junwoo Kim +1 more
TL;DR: To reduce the effectiveness of the Global Stocktake and REDD+ monitoring will therefore be constrained by considerable uncertainties, and to reduce these requires a new phase ofREDD+ Readiness to ensure more frequent national forest inventories and forest carbon mapping.
Book ChapterDOI
Integrating the socio-economic and physical dimensions of degraded tropical lands in global climate change mitigation assessments
TL;DR: The traditional separation between the social and environmental sciences has hindered development of interdisciplinary methodologies and led to predominantly physical assessments of key problem areas, such as the potential to mitigate global climate change by sequestering more terrestrial carbon in woody biomass as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of tree crops and agroforestry systems
TL;DR: In this paper, various multiple land use systems are suggested as a means of resolving the traditional conflict between agriculture and forestry and of increasing production of both wood and food in a sustainable manner.
