Field Measurements for Forest Carbon Monitoring
In the summer of 2003, a workshop was held in Portsmouth, NH, to discuss land measurement techniques for the North American Carbon Program. Over 40 sci- tists representing government agencies, academia and nonprofit research organi- tions located in Canada, the US and Mexico participated. During the course of the workshop a number of topics were discussed, with an emphasis on the following: • The need for an intermediate tier of carbon measurements. This level of study would be more extensive than state-level inventories of the US Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis Program, but less detailed than intensive ecos- tem studies sites such as those in Long Term Ecological Research net...
The Potential of U.S. Forest Soils to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect
Much attention has been given to above ground biomass and its potential as a carbon sink, but in a mature forest ecosystem 40 to 60 percent of the stored carbon is below ground. As increasing numbers of forests are managed in a wide diversity of climates and soils, the importance of forest soils as a potential carbon sink grows. The Potenti
Megaflorestas
Claro, provocativo e persuasivo, Megaflorestas é uma inspiradora convocação para conservar as insubstituíveis matas nativas da Terra, combater os efeitos das mudanças climáticas e salvar o planeta. Com uma prosa magnífica, que evoca a majestade dessas florestas, bem como as pessoas e os animais que nelas habitam, John Reid e Thomas Lovejoy conduzem o leitor em uma jornada global emocionante. Cinco florestas extraordinariamente grandes ainda existem na Terra: a Taiga, que se estende desde o Oceano Pacífico por toda a Rússia e pelo extremo norte da Europa; a boreal norte-americana, que vai da costa do mar de Bering, no Alasca, até o litoral atlântico do Canadá; a Amazônia, que cob...
