Assessment of the impact of climate change on endangered conifer tree species by considering climate and soil dual suitability and interspecific competition

Abstract: Climate change results in the habitat loss of many conifer tree species and jeopardizes species biodiversity and forest ecological functions. Delineating suitable habitats for tree species via climate niche model (CNM) is widely used to predict the impact of climate change and develop conservation and management...

Evaluation on biophysical carrying capacity to support land rehabilitation planning in the upstream watershed

Abstract: A comprehensive Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) plan is needed, supported by information on the condition of the Biophysical Carrying Capacity (BCC) of the watershed so that land rehabilitation activities will be right on target. The research aims to evaluate the BCC to support the SWC planning for the upstream...

Adaptation of Asia-Pacific forests to climate change

Abstract: Climate change is a threat to the stability and productivity of forest ecosystems throughout the Asia- Pacific region. The loss of forests due to climate-induced stress will have extensive adverse impacts on biodiversity and an array of ecosystem services that are essential for the maintenance of local economies and...

Improved forest cover mapping by harmonizing multiple land cover products over China

Abstract: Fine resolution land cover products are becoming increasingly more available for many regions. These products, however, may not meet the quality requirements of many applications. This study provides an approach for improving land cover mapping by leveraging existing products and clear view Landsat composites...

Community participation on Namsam upstream forest management a case study at: Khangthi, Houaxieng and Tham village, Samneau District, Houaphan Province

Abstract: This paper studied community participation in management of Namsam upstream forests is case study of Khangthi, Huaxieng and Tham village, Samnuea district, Houaphan province. The study aimed on the approaches to water quality management and exploredthe social and economic conditions affecting the forest and analyzed...

Linking multiple facets of tree diversity and structure with aboveground biomass along an elevation gradient in tropical forests of Nepal: implications for forest management

Abstract: Exploring the abiotic (e.g., topography, climate, and soil) and biotic (diversity, structure, and functional trait identity) drivers of aboveground biomass (AGB) is one of the hot topics in forest ecology, and hence remains highly debated across local, regional and continental scales. In this thesis, I attempted to...

Taxonomic study on the genus Eriocaulon L.(Eriocaulaceae) in the Eld’s Deer sanctuary Savannakhet Province, Laos (Study case in Dongtoy located between Mai Sanamxay village and Songhong village, Xonnaboury district, Savannakhet Province, Laos)

Abstract: In order to understand community status of the genus Eriocaulon L. (Eriocaulaceae), the ecological condition of the area for growth of Eriocaulon species was investigated and the speciesdiversity of Eriocaulon were studied. The key to species was constructed based on the morphological characters of Eriocaulon in the...

Changes of phosphorus fractionations in soil aggregates under long-term fertilization management on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is an essential non-renewable soil nutrient, important for plant growth and crop production. The primary productivity of agricultural ecosystems largely depends on the availability of P (P fractionations) in the soil. Thus, the identification of P fractions is indispensable for understanding the...

Loss and Recovery of Carbon in Repeatedly Burned Degraded Peatlands of Kalimantan, Indonesia

Abstract: Although accurate estimates of biomass loss during peat fires, and recovery over time, are critical in understanding net peat ecosystem carbon balance, empirical data to inform carbon models are scarce. During the 2019 dry season, fires burned through 133,631 ha of degraded peatlands of Central Kalimantan. This study...

Carbon balance of tropical peat forests at different fire history and implications for carbon emissions

Abstract: Accurate assessment of tropical peat forest carbon stocks and impact of fires on carbon pools is required to determine the magnitude of emissions to the atmosphere and to support emissions reduction policies. We assessed total aboveground carbon (AGC) in biomass pools including trees, shrubs, deadwood, litter and...
