No time to waste: Tropical forests become source of global warming – New article by Terry Sunderland
‘According to findings of research published last week in Nature, Tropical forests are losing the capacity to remove carbon from the atmosphere, which could have dramatic implications for their potential to mitigate the impact of global warming. Intact tropical forests are a vital global carbon sink, slowing climate change through carbon sequestration, a process through carbon is removed […]
Revolutionize food production system or face mass deforestation, scientists warn: Article featuring Terry Sunderland and Alida O’Connor’s work
