Non-grain agricultural land use (NGALU) could be an alternative to payments for ecosystem services (PES) achieve benefits, given their joint contribution forest transition. Unraveling the correlation between PES and NGALU can enhance cost-effective decisions. While farmland abandonment non-grain cash crops (NGCCs) plantation are two main manifestations of NGALU, previous studies have primarily assessed effects on abandonment. Little is known about NGCC planting. This study evaluated China’s nationwide programs (i.e., Grain Green Program, GTGP, Ecological Welfare Forest EWFP) in Black River Basin Shaanxi province. The found a wide adoption with 52% households adopting NGALU. total area more than half afforested through GTGP. A quarter abandoned farmland, while remaining planted NGCCs. did not planting, but reduced Engagement labor migration local non-farm employment increased livestock breeding Furthermore, large unfavorable geographical conditions parcels promoted These results highlight important implications leveraging boost ecological gains from conservation investments.

Abstract Anthropic activities have modelled and simplified southern European forest landscapes for centuries. Over recent decades, new drivers related to human-mediated global change induced the redistribution of tree species an increase in more complex forests. However, current large-scale patterns these changes are yet be fully described Mediterranean Basin. In this frame, work identifies examines dominance composition from pure mixed forests across bioclimatic gradients types Iberian over decades based on data Spanish National Forest Inventory 1960 2020. Then, considering different environmental, anthropic, disturbance variables we also identify some most important associated with shifts observed 1986 Our results confirm ongoing involving replacement conifers by broadleaved species. These greater Atlantic biogeoregion deciduous Climate warming-associated disturbances such as drought severity together land use legacies showed strongest relationships studied support premise put forward palaeoecologists which states that mixtures is a natural process reversing historical human-induced simplification The increasing importance Europe makes decisive revision classifications well management conservation plans order include increasingly abundant novel stands policies.

Abstract Interaction of global change drivers affects forest resilience. Land‐use changes (land abandonment) and climate (a higher frequency intensity droughts) are interacting in the Mediterranean Region. Components resilience secondary stem growth have been widely studied but, despite importance root systems functionality resilience, non‐previous studies assessed them coarse roots. In this study, we use Juniperus thurifera tree‐ring chronologies roots stems to assess biomass allometry tree drought events comparing two stages a expansion gradient (mature forests transition zone) Alto Tajo Natural Park. We extracted cores 48 trees distributed different developmental calculated cross‐sectional area increments, root‐stem allometric relationship components for both organs each individual (2005 2012). Stem as well its exponent were zone than mature forests. Both exhibited trade‐off between resistance recovery but maintenance values zone. Resilience did not show differences being However, relative was forests, without stages. Finally, 2012 event showed impact on 2005 event. Synthesis .
