An assessment of high carbon stock and high conservation value approaches to sustainable oil palm cultivation in Gabon
Austin, KG; Lee, ME; Clark, C; Forester, BR; Urban, DL; White, L; Kasibhatla, PS; ... (8 authors) (Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-01)© 2017 IOP Publishing Ltd. Industrial-scale oil palm cultivation is rapidly expanding in Gabon, where it has the potential to drive economic growth, but also threatens forest, biodiversity and carbon resources. The Gabonese ... -
Assessing variability and long-term trends in burned area by merging multiple satellite fire products
Giglio, L; Randerson, JT; Van Der Werf, GR; Kasibhatla, PS; Collatz, GJ; Morton, DC; Defries, RS (Biogeosciences, 2010-04-12)Long term, high quality estimates of burned area are needed for improving both prognostic and diagnostic fire emissions models and for assessing feedbacks between fire and the climate system. We developed global, monthly ... -
Global fire emissions and the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural, and peat fires (1997-2009)
Van Der Werf, GR; Randerson, JT; Giglio, L; Collatz, GJ; Mu, M; Kasibhatla, PS; Morton, DC; ... (10 authors) (Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010-12-20)New burned area datasets and top-down constraints from atmospheric concentration measurements of pyrogenic gases have decreased the large uncertainty in fire emissions estimates. However, significant gaps remain ...
