The Warra Long-Term Ecological Research site in southern Tasmania was created to reflect the commitment of eight site partners to understanding the ecology of wet eucalypt forests as a necessary part of their management. The 15,900-ha site is adjacent to a major tourist facility (the Tahune airwalk) and contains both State Forest, managed for multiple use including timber production, and relatively inaccessible World Heritage Area.

Climate warming in western North America is expected to result in reduced snowpack, earlier melt, and increased evapotranspiration. Consequently a shift toward a greater proportion of streamflow earlier in the water year with diminished spring and summer streamflows is anticipated. However, few datasets exist of streamflow with associated climate and vegetation records adequate to interpret changes in climate, forest processes, and their consequences for streamflows. This study examines trends in long-term streamflow records from three headwater catchments in old growth f

Agriculture, forestry and emissions trading: is there a role for the LTER network?

Agriculture, Forestry and Emissions Trading: Is there a role for the LTER Network

Organizer:

Neville Millar

Co-organizer(s):

Phil Robertson

The major contribution of land-based activities to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is widely recognized by the scientific community. The question of how and whether to include the agriculture and forestry sectors in GHG emission reduction projects suitable for carbon emissions trading in ‘cap–and–trade’ programs however, remains controversial.

Land uses and management practices in residential parcels (e.g., aesthetic/recreational/economic uses, land-cover choices, irrigation and chemical applications) impact and are impacted by social (e.g., stratification and status, environmental perceptions, zoning) and ecological (e.g., carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, water demand and quality) processes.

<Mt. Malindang Natural Park is one of the Philippine LTER sites. It is protected area and situated on an extinct volcano in the province of Misamis Occidental, Philippines. The natural resources of the park are being threatened by the economic activities of the local people. Deforestation in Mt Malindang has reduced the water supply in the upland and lowland areas of the park. This project was conducted to rehabilitate the degraded forest ecosysytem in the park by replanting indigenous tree species involving the local communities.
