Changing climate changes management: Study helps guide forest staff on Shoshone
2013-03-12 09:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
WyoFile: By the middle of the century, temperatures on the Shoshone National Forest will rise by 3 degrees and the glaciers in the forest will be gone. The drinking water that flows from the Shoshone, and the water used to irrigate fields, might slow to a trickle. Forest fires will burn hotter, bigger and more often. All of these drastic changes mean that forest service staff must adjust management tactics to oversee a changing forest. A report published last January Climate change on the Shoshone National...

Tropical forest resilience boosts protection schemes
2013-03-12 01:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Planet Earth: Tropical forests may be more resilient to climate change in the coming century than first thought, scientists say. The news could boost schemes designed to curb carbon emissions by discouraging deforestation, like the United Nation's Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) programme, which rely on a stable forest to keep carbon locked out of the atmosphere. Such schemes would become more difficult to sell if the forests they are attempting to protect were likely to be...

Selective logging changes character of tropical forest
2013-02-28 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Selective logging is usually considered less harmful than other forestry practices, such as clear cutting, but a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science has found that even selective logging has a major impact on tropical forests lasting decades. Comparing trees in two previously logged sites and two unlogged sites in northeast India, researchers found less tree diversity in selectively logged forests with trees dispersed by birds proved especially hard-hit....
