Does REDD+ Threaten to Recentralize Forest Governance?
TL;DR: A major new approach to emissions mitigation may interrupt a promising trend toward decentralized forest management, and the implications for tropical forest management should be a research priority.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are all intertidal wetlands naturally created equal? Bottlenecks, thresholds and knowledge gaps to mangrove and saltmarsh ecosystems
Daniel A. Friess,Ken W. Krauss,Erik Horstman,Erik Horstman,Thorsten Balke,Tjeerd J. Bouma,Demis Galli,Edward L. Webb +7 more
TL;DR: By providing the first systematic comparison between saltmarshes and mangroves, this work unravels how the interplay between species‐specific life‐history traits, biophysical interactions and biogeomorphological feedback processes determine where, when and what wetland can establish, the thresholds to long‐term ecosystem stability, and constraints to genetic connectivity between intertidal wetland populations at the landscape level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Windows of opportunity: thresholds to mangrove seedling establishment on tidal flats
Thorsten Balke,Tjeerd J. Bouma,Erik Horstman,Edward L. Webb,Paul L. A. Erftemeijer,Peter M. J. Herman +5 more
TL;DR: This work determined how seedling establishment of Avicennia alba Bl.

Land use dynamics and landscape change pattern in a mountain watershed in Nepal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed spatial and temporal changes in land use/land cover in a typical mountain watershed covering an area of 153 km 2 in central Nepal by comparing classified satellite images from 1976, 1989 and 2000 coupled by GIS analyses and also investigated changes in the shape of land use patches over the period.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global standard for monitoring coastal wetland vulnerability to accelerated sea-level rise
Edward L. Webb,Daniel A. Friess,Ken W. Krauss,Donald R. Cahoon,Glenn R. Guntenspergen,Jacob Phelps +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple, inexpensive and low-technology device called the "rod surface elevation table" could be used to monitor threatened coastal wetlands around the world, which is used to predict the probable impact of sea-level rise on vulnerable coastal ecosystems and for science-informed management, adaptation and mitigation.
