Can a small island nation build resilience? The significance of resource-use pa...
del Campo, Francisco Martin; Singh, Simron Jit; Fishman, Tomer; Thomas, Adelle; Noll, Dominik; Drescher, MichaelResource-use patterns may entail systemic risks and cascade effects, which conse- quently inhibit the ability to deliver socioeconomic services. Identifying resource-use patterns exhibiting systemic risks and reshaping their combinations is a potential lever in realizing the transition to a sustainable, resilient, and resource-secure system. Using an island context to assess the quantity and composition of reso...
Height-diameter allometry of tropical forest trees
Feldpausch, Ted R.; Banin, Lindsay F.; Phillips, Oliver L.; Baker, Timothy R.; Lewis, Simon L.; Quesada, Carlos Alberto; Affum-Baffoe, KofiTropical tree height-diameter (<i>H:D</i>) relationships may vary by forest type and region making large-scale estimates of above-ground biomass subject to bias if they ignore these differences in stem allometry. We have therefore developed a new global tropical forest database consisting of 39 955 concurrent <i>H</i> and <i>D</i> measurements encompassing 283 sites in 22 tropical countries. Utilising this data...
