Summer is the perfect time to slow down, explore, and learn something unexpected. Whether you are relaxing by the sea or simply curious about it, our latest summer readings offer fresh insights into how the ocean responds to climate change. These stories connect food, ecosystems, and the sky in surprising ways. They are not only scientific discoveries, but they are also meaningful reflections on ...
Compared to traditional wood charcoal, it helps preserve forests by reducing the demand for logging. Export Opportunities Countries like Japan, South Korea, and many in the EU are actively seeking carbon-rich biochar for fuel and agricultural use. ...
TL;DR — As wildfires become an increasingly frequent part of our world due to a changing climate, forest management practices that maintain healthy forests play a vital role in protecting ecosystems, public health, and air quality. ...
This reduces reliance on virgin wood pulp, promoting sustainable forest management. Biodegradable Bliss: Unlike their foam counterparts, paper egg cartons decompose naturally, leaving minimal impact on landfills and the environment. ...
Forestry Management and its Technology Effective forest monitoring and management is significant for forest conservation and proper utilization. ...
67,900 acre reservoir created for flood control and electric generation. 94’ high and 3,979 dam across the Tennessee River generates 123 megawatts. Only 15% of the 890 miles of shoreline is developed. Average depth of Guntersville Lake is 15’ with a maximum depth of 45’. Premier angling destination with a robust and diverse fishery. Abundance of aquatic vegetation including ...
Sustainable Forestry and Biodiversity Conservation The utilization of agricultural waste biomass for charcoal production helps alleviate pressure on natural forests and biodiversity hotspots, reducing deforestation and habitat destruction associated with traditional charcoal production methods. ...
Micrometeorological research has been undertaken at the Harvard Forest for decades. The eddy-covariance flux tower (Figure 1) at the Harvard Forest Environmental Measurements Site (HFEMS) was installed in 1989 and provides the world's longest continuous record of net ecosystem CO2 exchange, evaporation, and energy flux between a forest and the ...
An increasing number of pioneering businesses and investors operating along forest and agriculture supply chains are leading the charge to transform the deeply flawed dominating economic models for the benefit of people, nature and climate. ...
As technology develops, sound has become an increasingly important way of measuring the health and biodiversity of ecosystems: our forests, soils and oceans all produce their own acoustic signatures. ...
Access to external finance for smallholder forest and farm producers is limited, hindering their effective action on climate, nature, livelihoods and food security. However, forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs) can mobilise internally-generated finance. ...
They employ a team of professional foresters and certified timber harvesters that can help harvest both private and public timber lots. ...
Development of this system has also been supported by Cal Fire grants with the goal of building pilot infrastructure to help incentivize and monetize Cal Fire’s forest and wildfire mitigation.The ongoing drought and other climate changes affecting the vast woodlands across California have resulted in unprecedented fire danger. The need to thin trees to maintain healthy ...

With more efficient farming practices and increased crop yields, it becomes possible to feed a growing world population without expanding agricultural land at the expense of forests and natural habitats. Sustainable Farming Practices The adoption of INS technology encourages sustainable farming practices worldwide. ...
Women and food-centric interventions through the NATURE+ Initiative aim to increase the resilience of rural women. This years’ International Day of Rural Women puts a spotlight on, “Rural Women Cultivating Good Food for All.” The CGIAR Initiative on Nature-Positive Solutions (NATURE+) aims to re-imagine, co-create and implement nature-positive, solutions-based agri-food systems ...
Reduced Deforestation Pressure One of the significant environmental benefits of biomass pyrolysis plant is the reduced pressure on forests. By providing an alternative source of charcoal production, these machines help preserve fragile ecosystems and mitigate deforestation. This conservation effort contributes to the global fight against climate change by preserving carbon-rich ...
The ‘Scaling up the implementation of the Lao PDR Emission Reductions Programme (Project 2)’ aims to address decades of forest loss. Building on and coordinating with complementary initiatives including the success of FP117 (GIZ Laos Project 1), Lao PDR leverages GCF funding to further remove investment, policy, and financing barriers to create a sustainable ...
