Document Summary
The different types of forests: tropical dry, cloud forests, but most important tropical rainforest. It is a specific type of tropical forests. The contributions of different enviro things with observed with climate change. Deforestation and forest degradation in tropical forests accounts for ~13-17% total man-made c emissions. From forests to carbon: redd+ policies. Policies to pay tropical countries to keep carbon to be locked up in forests. Prodicutive lands that are going back to forests: slide 20. The gold line: deforestation trend or carbon emission trend. Which can lead to saving biodiversity: concerns of redd, reading 8. Identify the most important proximate drivers of deforestation. Can be defined by the environmental characteristics. Wide range of temperature but there is low precipitation: the relationship between precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration. The different categories can help differentiate the dryland environments. Desertification: the process of desertification is usually blamed on mismanagement, dryland degradation.
