CIFOR, which merged with World Agroforestry (known by the acronym ICRAF) on Jan. 1, 2019, [1] is the forestry and agroforestry research center of CGIAR, a network of 15 research centers around the world that focus on agricultural research for sustainable development, working closely with governments and other partners to help develop evidence ...
The Amazon rainforest absorbs one-fourth of the carbon dioxide emissions on Earth, however, the amount of CO 2 absorbed today decreases by 30% than it was in the 1990s due to deforestation. [35] Modeling studies have concluded that there are two crucial moments that can lead to devastating effects in the Amazon rainforest which are increase in ...
English: In this paper we afford a quantitative analysis of the sustainability of current world population growth in relation to the parallel deforestation process adopting a statistical point of view. We consider a simplified model based on a stochastic growth process driven by a continuous time random walk, which depicts the technological ...
Deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest slowed by nearly half compared to the year before, according to government satellite data released Wednesday. In the past 12 months, the Amazon ...
Deforestation is defined as the conversion of forest to other land uses (regardless of whether it is human-induced). [14] Deforestation and forest area net change are not the same: the latter is the sum of all forest losses (deforestation) and all forest gains (forest expansion) in a given period. Net change, therefore, can be positive or ...
Deforestation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been caused partly by unregulated logging and mining, but mostly by the demands made by the subsistence activities of a poor population. In the east of the country, for example, more than 3 million people live less than a day's walk from Virunga National Park. Wood from the park's ...
Earth Eclipse, [8] a platform of environment research articles, adds the following causes: Acid rain; Pests and diseases; Air pollution. Degradation for this cause is specifically called [citation needed] Waldsterben (German word) or forest death. Forest fragmentation: a large forest is broken up in smaller woods, which destroys the habitat of ...
The natural environment, commonly referred to simply as the environment, includes all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth.. The natural environment includes complete ecological units that function as natural systems without massive human intervention, including all vegetation, animals, microorganisms, soil, rocks, atmosphere and natural phenomena that occur within their ...
