Forest restoration gets a cutting edge
2016-07-28 12:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Research by scientists from the UK and Tanzania has revealed that assisted ecological restoration can lead to dramatic increases in growth of new and established trees helping to mitigate climate change and boost biodiversity. All that is required, they say, is effective control of lianas, the fast-growing, woody climbing vines that, left to their own devices, quickly take over forest in which most or all of the merchantable timber has been cut, and crowd out emerging tree seedlings. Trials...

Blue and Green: Unsustainable Logging Leads To Tropical Forest Overexploitation Tropical timber derived from old-growth tropical forests which is widely recognised as a renewable natural resource, is selectively logged worldwide at an unparalleled scale. But research from the University of East Anglia reveals that these sources of timber are far from sustainable or entirely environmentally friendly. A study published today in PLoS ONE reveals that once prime tropical hardwoods -- such as Brazilian cedars,...

Donors Mitigation Agenda Topped By Preserving Forest Carbon Sinks
2016-07-11 11:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Good governance and large carbon sinks in developing countries are likely to be the principal destination for major green donors climate mitigation funding, new research has found. The study by the University of East Anglia (UEA) compared the factors used to allocate climate mitigation finance to 180 developing countries by the five largest donors Japan, Germany, France, Norway and the United States. Ways of addressing the global need for reducing greenhouse gas emissions vary from promoting...
