Tropical forests and the global carbon cycle: impacts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate change and rate of deforestation

The remaining carbon stocks in wet tropical forests are currently at risk because of anthropogenic deforestation, but also because of the possibility of release driven by climate change. To identify the relative roles of CO2 increase, changing temperature and rainfall, and…

Challenges to forest resource management and conservation [Chapter 6]

From the text...'fire management cannot be the same in the interface as in rural areas. In the South, a vast majority of land is privately owned. A dense road network in the interface provides many firebreaks; but it also brings people into forests. In the West, on the other…
