Report underestimated loss of carbon from tropical rainforests
2014-05-24 07:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A soon-to-be-published report is set to say that the amount of carbon being lost by the degradation of tropical rainforests is underestimated. The new research says the current method of using satellites to assess tree numbers is ineffective at monitoring selective logging and fringe element deforestation. Lead author Dr Erika Berenguer from Lancaster University told the BBC, Its been completely overlooked. When we talk about deforestation, we completely remove the forest and all that carbon...

Human Impact on Amazon Rainforest Grossly Underestimated
2014-05-23 23:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Human impact on the Amazon rainforest has been grossly underestimated, according to an international team of researchers. The report detailed in the journal Global Change Biology says that selective logging and surface wildfires can amount to an annual loss of 54 billion tons of carbon from the Brazilian Amazon - that's equivalent to 40 percent of the yearly carbon loss from deforestation. Researchers estimated both above and below-ground carbon loss from selective logging and ground level...

Forest carbon loss 'underestimated'
2014-05-22 02:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The amount of carbon lost from tropical forests is being significantly underestimated, a new study reports. Experts say that in addition to loss of trees, the degradation of trees by selective logging and fires causes large amounts of "hidden" emissions. The slow moving process has remained almost invisible to satellite observations. The study team say that 40% of carbon emissions from deforestation in the Amazon is due to degradation. The research is due to be published in the journal...

Experts Warn Wildlife Response Climate Change Is Likely Underestimated
2014-04-23 01:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Analyzing thousands of breeding bird surveys sent in by citizen scientists across the western United States and Canada over 35 years, wildlife researchers report that most of the 40 songbird species they studied shifted either northward or toward higher elevation in response to climate change, but did not necessarily do both. This means that most previous studies of potential climate change impacts on wildlife that looked only at one factor or the other have likely underestimated the effects of...
