The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
This brief presents evidence of land use planning, spatial planning, territorial (or regional) planning, and ecosystem-based or environmental land use planning as tools that can strengthen land governance, improve economic opportunities based on sustainable management of land resources, and develop land use options that reconcile conservation and development objectives.
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
