Rates of change in tree communities following major disturbances are determined by a
complex set of interactions between local site factors, landscape history and structure …

Secondary forests are a major terrestrial carbon sink and reliable estimates of their carbon
stocks are pivotal for understanding the global carbon balance and initiatives to mitigate …

Agroforestry is recognized as a strategy for soil carbon sequestration (SCS) under the
