New publication by Hamid: Ecosystem Disturbance Recovery: What It Was or What It Could Have Been?
Hamid led a study that explores traditional vs. counterfactual views on ecosystem recovery in the age of climate change. Traditionally, recovery means bouncing back to a pre-disturbance state. The problem? It assumes a stable ecosystem, …
New study led by Meng Luo: Impacts of Forest Management-Induced Productivity Changes on Future Land Use and Land Cover Change
We found more intense forest management leads to smaller land use and land cover changes and helps preserve natural lands by 2100. See details at https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024EF004878
