2023, Journal of Cleaner ProductionHow are biodiversity and carbon stock recovered during tropical forest restoration? Supporting the ecological paradigms and political context involved
2022, Journal for Nature ConservationCitation Excerpt :Productivity is measured as biomass, where carbon typically comprises 50% of the total mass that plants accumulate (He et al., 2005; Lacerda et al., 2009). Thus, the atmospheric excess of carbon may be sequestered and accumulated in ecosystems during restoration (Cao & Woodward, 1998; Jones & Donnelly, 2004; Lal, 2004; McGuire et al., 2001; Newell & Stavins, 2000). This is especially true during early successional stages of restoration, when fast growing species are more abundant and carbon sequestration proceeds more rapidly (Montagnini & Porras, 1998; Shimamoto et al. 2014; Sierra et al., 2012).
Carbon sinks and output of China's forestry sector: An ecological economic development perspective
2019, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :This will make forest coverage have a significant positive effect on total factor productivity. Increasing forest coverage can effectively promote carbon sinks (Lubowski et al., 2006; Rokityanskiy et al., 2007; Newell, 2000; Adetoye et al., 2018). In the regression analysis of forestry output value, the ratio of cultivated area to forest area has a positive effect on the two outputs slacks.
