Tropical forest resilience boosts protection schemes
2013-03-12 01:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Planet Earth: Tropical forests may be more resilient to climate change in the coming century than first thought, scientists say. The news could boost schemes designed to curb carbon emissions by discouraging deforestation, like the United Nation's Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) programme, which rely on a stable forest to keep carbon locked out of the atmosphere. Such schemes would become more difficult to sell if the forests they are attempting to protect were likely to be...

New York Times: NASA`s Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio Of the 10 million square miles of northern vegetated lands, 34 to 41 percent showed increases in plant growth (green and blue), 3 to 5 percent showed decreases in plant growth (orange and red), and 51 to 62 percent showed no changes (yellow) over the past 30 years. Separate comprehensive studies published in the last couple of days in Nature Climate Change and Nature Geoscience find that from the northern tundra to the tropical...

Evidence grows of rainforest resilience to global warming
2013-03-10 19:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The world's tropical forests are less likely to lose biomass, or plant material, this century due to the effects of global warming than previously thought, scientists said in a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience on Sunday. This adds to growing evidence that rainforests might be more resilient to the effects of climate change than feared. Tropical forests play an important role in the world's climate system because they soak up carbon dioxide and use it to grow leaves, branches...

In Kenya, Information Strengthens Pastoralists' Resilience
2013-03-07 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
IRIN: Inadequate access to information, such as weather forecasts, has hampered Kenyan pastoralists' ability to respond and adapt to climate change, experts say. "Lack of adequate information and focus on emergency responses has left communities exposed to the effects of climate change. More focus must now go towards ensuring that the communities have the ability to withstand the effects of climate change. Building resilience is the way to go," Victor Orindi, climate change advisor in the Ministry of...
