Identifying and addressing knowledge gaps for improving greenhouse gas emissions estimates from tropical peat forest fires

Abstract: Tropical peatlands are areas of high carbon density that are important in biosphere-atmosphere interactions.Drainage and burning of tropical peatlands releases about 5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet there is great uncertainty in these estimates. Our comprehensive literature review of parameters...

International Collaboration on a Sustainable Forest Management OER Online Program 一 A Case Study

Abstract: Forestry education has always had to adapt to global changes and accommodate students and society fs needs. To address the issues of the day, forestry education has cultivated human capacity to understand the complexity of ever-changing environments, master resource management technologies, and engage in global...

Climate-based approach for modeling the distribution of montane forest vegetation in Taiwan

Abstract:Aims: Climate shapes forest types on our planet and also drives the differentiation of zonal vegetation at regional scale. A climate-based ecological model may provide an effective alternative to the traditional approach for assessing limitations, thresholds, and the potential distribution of forests. The main...

A dynamic downscaling approach to generate scale-free regional climate data in Taiwan

Abstract:Plenty of climate data from various sources have become available in recent years. However, to obtain climate data adequately meeting the requirement of ecological studies remains a challenge in some cases due to the difficulty of data integration and the complexity of downscaling, especially for mountainous regions...

Economic globalization, trade and forest transition-the case of nine Asian countries

Abstract:Previous studies have mostly focused on the links between the variability of trade of primary sector products and forest transition. This study more widely discusses the effects of economic globalization on forest transition, and explores the links between trade, adjustment of trade structure, FDI and forest transition...

Conditions of forest transition in Asian countries

Abstract:This study identifies the important factors that contribute to or inhibit forest transitions in nine Asian countries:China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Philippines, and Vietnam. A qualitative compar ative analysis method was used to determine which conditions or combinations of...

Comparative study of the forest transition pathways of nine Asia-Pacific countries

Abstract：Forest transition (FT) over the last three decades has attracted much academic attention. In this paper we present a comparative study of FT to assess regional variety in nine countries in Asia: China, Japan, the Republic of Korea,India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam, using data covering the...

Assessment of bio-physical, social and economic drivers for forest transition in Asia-Pacific region

Abstract：Forest transition (FT) has taken place in many developing countries in recent decades. Analysis of developing countries FT is mostly based on case studies and exploring a limited set of drivers that result in forest cover change. This paper attempts to identify and explain trends in forest cover change across nine...

ClimateAP: an application for dynamic local downscaling of historical and future climate data in Asia Pacific

Abstract：While low-to-moderate resolution gridded climate data are suitable for climate-impact modeling at global and ecosystems levels, spatial analyses conducted at local scales require climate data with increased spatial accuracy. This is particularly true for research focused on the evaluation of adaptive forest...

Climatic niche models and their consensus projections for future climates for four major forest tree species in the Asia–Pacific region

Abstract：Modeling and mapping the climatic niches of forest tree species and projecting their potential shift in geographic distribution under future climates are essential steps in assessing the impact of climate change on forests and in developing adaptive forest management strategies. It is particularly important for...
