His studies are focused on the environmental science topics of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and ecosystems of the forest, and on the development of a technique for environmental remediation via soft-chemical methods.
Drawing on many ecosystem definitions of forest functions, the following definition was determined: the functions of forests and forest ecosystems are capabilities, effects, and influences appearing in basic components of ecosystems and interaction systems, including human ones.
Evidence suggests that trash basket epiphytes (TBE) can be considered ecosystem engineers of forest canopies, due to their relationship with arboreal soil availability and treetop communities.
Increasing social and managerial interest in mitigating rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations and the resulting impacts on climate has focused attention on the ecosystem service of forest carbon storage, including storage in HWP.
However, the findings raise concerns about the potential short- and long-term impacts of ongoing deforestation and ecosystem degradation on community health in Malawi, and they suggest that preventing forest loss and maintaining the ecosystem services of forests are important factors in improving human health and nutrition outcomes.
The region can be described as an agro-ecosystem consisting of forests and old-fields.
The Surui Forest Carbon Project is one of hundreds of REDD projects around the world, according to the latest Ecosystem Marketplace State of Forest Carbon Markets Report.
In order to anticipate the potential range of changes to forests in the future and to better understand the development and state of forest ecosystems at present, a variety of forest ecosystem models of varying complexity have been developed over the past 40 years.
Moreover, the study is completed with valuable information on the biogeographical and ecosystem classification of forests in the study-area, as well as the conservation of forest ecosystems though natural protected areas.
One method that quantifies the carbon balance of forest ecosystems is the eddy-covariance method, which estimates the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon.
