Journal ArticleDOI
The biomass distribution on Earth
TL;DR: The overall biomass composition of the biosphere is assembled, establishing a census of the ≈550 gigatons of carbon (Gt C) of biomass distributed among all of the kingdoms of life and shows that terrestrial biomass is about two orders of magnitude higher than marine biomass and estimate a total of ≈6 Gt C of marine biota, doubling the previous estimated quantity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global distribution of ecosystems in a world without fire
TL;DR: Comparison of global 'fire off' simulations with landcover and treecover maps show that vast areas of humid C(4) grasslands and savannas, especially in South America and Africa, have the climate potential to form forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon sequestration: An underexploited environmental benefit of agroforestry systems
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of carbon sequestration through agroforestry in both subsistence and commercial enterprises in both the tropics and the temperate region has been investigated, and the potential for C sequestration rates range from 1.5 to 3.5 Mg C ha −1 yr −1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retention Forestry to Maintain Multifunctional Forests: A World Perspective
Lena Gustafsson,Susan C. Baker,Jürgen Bauhus,William J. Beese,Angus Brodie,Jari Kouki,David B. Lindenmayer,Asko Lõhmus,Guillermo Martínez Pastur,Christian Messier,Mark G. Neyland,Brian J. Palik,Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson,W. Jan A. Volney,Adrian F. Wayne,Jeffrey F. Franklin +15 more
TL;DR: Retention forestry is applicable to all forest biomes, complements conservation in reserves, and represents bottom-up conservation through forest manager involvement and link retention forestry with land-zoning allocation at various scales, expanding its uses to forest restoration and the management of uneven—age forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new land-cover map of Africa for the year 2000
TL;DR: This first version of the map should provide an important input for regional stratification and planning purposes for natural resources, biodiversity and climate studies and is the most spatially detailed view yet published at this scale.

Forest change detection by statistical object-based method
TL;DR: High detection accuracy and overall Kappa were achieved by OB-Reflectance method in temperate forests using three SPOT-HRV images covering a 10-year period.
