Remnant forest patches within agricultural landscapes may play an underappreciated role in tropical carbon storage. Understanding their carbon storage contribution will inform land-use policies to balance economic production ...

The risks associated with carbon credit transactions discourage private investment in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in tropical countries (REDD+) and reduce incentives for forest conservation ...

Forests are ecologically complex, and trees play a structural and functional role in ecosystem dynamics. Tree height–DBH (diameter at breast height) relationships serve as a key indicator of forest productivity, competition, ...

Eucalyptus clones have been widely planted in Uganda to cope with the increasing demand for wood. However, the newly introduced clones are susceptible to attack by Botryosphaeria canker disease. Canker diseases have been ...

The restoration of degraded areas can be promoted through afforestation and reforestation using natural regeneration, tree planting, or a mix of both approaches. However, dry periods pose challenges such as moisture stress ...

The complete chloroplast genome of Hopea rudiformis, a critically endangered species on the IUCN Red List, was sequenced and analyzed to uncover its genomic structure, gene content, and evolutionary context, contributing ...

In Sahel, livestock productivity is mainly dependent on the production of natural rangelands. Monitoring woody forage biomass can guide for better management of natural rangelands. In this study, we used the branch ...

Teak (Tectona grandis) is a valuable tropical timber species, but knowledge about its environmental adaptability for tree breeding is limited. Progeny trial is crucial for improving breeding materials as progeny performance ...

Agathis borneensis Warb. propagation, an endangered tree species with high conservation and economic value, is often hampered by a rapid decline in seed quality. This study aims to investigate the effects of storage periods ...

Social forestry is one of the Indonesian government’s programs to reduce deforestation and improve community welfare. After a decade, it is not yet known how the dynamics of land management related to the level of disturbance ...
