The impact of global climate change on tropical forest biodiversity in Amazonia
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of expected global climate change on the potential and realized distributions of a representative sample of 69 individual Angiosperm species in Amazonia were simulated from 1990 to 2095.

TL;DR: This paper suggests how the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) community can progressively make use of a flexible framework of analytical approaches that have been recently developed by scientific research to allow a standardized but flexible use of indicator sets adapted to specific objectives or desertification issues relevant for implementing the Convention.

TL;DR: This paper shows how insights from models can help in selecting and integrating indicators, interpreting synthetic trends, incorporating cross-scalar processes, representing spatio-temporal variation, and evaluating uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating areas of degraded tropical lands requiring replenishment of forest cover
TL;DR: In this paper, it is estimated that reforestation of a third of all degraded lands in dry or montane areas and afforestation of about a fifth of the degraded area of croplands in dry regions (61.5 million ha) would prevent projected fuelwood deficits in those regions by the year 2000.
