Dead trees aren't a wildfire threat, but overlogging them will ruin our forest ecosystems
2016-07-07 23:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: There are now 66 million dead trees in California`s forests due to several years of drought and native bark beetles, creating a "catastrophic" wildfire threat-or so claims U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. While Vilsack`s assertion may resonate with many in the general public because it makes intuitive sense, it simply isn`t true. Among scientists, there is an overwhelming consensus that weather (hot, dry, windy conditions) determines how wildland fires behave, not the density of dead...

GreenBiz: "This whole ecosystem services thing was big in the 1990s, but then it seemed to fade away," said Roshan Cooke, a climate and environment specialist with the International Fund for Agricultural Development, as he grabbed a quick vegetarian bite between sessions at the Adaptation Futures conference in Rotterdam.

Australia: Tree planting 'offset' allowing miners to destroy ecosystems

The revelations appear in documents obtained under freedom of information laws by the NSW Nature Conservation Council and revealed by Fairfax Media. Staff in the Office of Environment and Heritage thought the expansion of what could count as an offset went too far, and was a political decision, rather than...

Ozone does not necessarily promote decline of natural ecosystems
2016-02-26 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Environmental scientists at the University of Virginia have found that surface ozone, an abundant chemical known to be toxic to many species of vegetation and to humans, does not necessarily inhibit the productivity of natural ecosystems. "This is a rare piece of good news in the ozone and ecology story," said Manuel Lerdau, an ecologist who, along with graduate student Bin Wang, post-doctoral fellow Jacquelyn Shuman and Professor Hank Shugart, published their findings this week in the Nature journal...
