Limited carbon and biodiversity co-benefits for tropical forest mammals and birds
Beaudrot, Lydia H.; Kroetz, Kailin M.; Álvarez-Loayza, Patricia; Amaral, Iêda Leão do; Breuer, Thomas; Fletcher, Christine Dawn; Jansen, Patrick A.The conservation of tropical forest carbon stocks offers the opportunity to curb climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and simultaneously conserve biodiversity. However, there has been considerable debate about the extent to which carbon stock conservation will provide benefits to biodiversity in part because whether forests that contain high carbon density in their aboveground ...
Standardized Assessment of Biodiversity Trends in Tropical Forest Protected Are...
Beaudrot, Lydia H.; Ahumada, Jorge A.; O’Brien, Timothy L.; Álvarez-Loayza, Patricia; Boekee, Kelly; Campos-Arceiz, Ahimsa; Eichberg, DavidExtinction rates in the Anthropocene are three orders of magnitude higher than background and disproportionately occur in the tropics, home of half the world’s species. Despite global efforts to combat tropical species extinctions, lack of high-quality, objective information on tropical biodiversity has hampered quantitative evaluation of conservation strategies. In particular, the scarcity of population-level ...
