Forest carbon sinks (FCS) play an important role in mitigating global climate change, but there is a lack of more accurate, comprehensive, and efficient forest stock estimates projections for larger regions. By combining 1980–2020 land use data from the Northeast China Forestry (NCF) change under Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP), cover (LUCC) NCF 2030 2050 FCS were estimated based on measured density. In general, area has not yet recovered to level 1980. The temporal experienced U-shaped trend sharp decline slow increase, with inflection point occurring 2010. If strict ecological conservation measures are implemented, expected recover 1980 levels by 2050. We believe that priority (EP) scenario most likely suitable direction future development NCF. also advocate scientific stringent management natural forests unlock huge potential sequestration, which meet its neutrality commitments.

Environmental contingent valuation (CV) studies in a context of developing countries have been progressing the past two decades. However, these are prone to biases due their hypothetical nature and most lack appropriately designed implemented CV survey. This paper carried out systematic review previous 36 forest conducted countries, focusing on main objectives: (i) examine communities' preference willing pay (WTP) for conservation (ii) assess content construct validity included studies, using selected indicators from best practice guidelines recommended literature. The overall annual mean WTP ranges $0.01–75.36 7.17–94.34 man-days per household monetary labor time payment modes, respectively. results reveal that estimates slightly vary among individual within same country, whereas, widely between countries. These imply policy designs programs need give emphasis local contexts other relevant parameters. Moreover, finding indicates this failed document report test fully explicitly as literature, despite existing some efforts improve quality studies. Thus, it is strongly suggested future theme conduct, test. provides available evidences accuracy prior could inform policy/users decision making.

Secondary forests will likely dominate future tropical landscapes, and the ecosystem services they provide to humanity be particularly relevant. However, few empirical studies quantitative evidence of how supply change along secondary forest succession. The need for such information is pressing dry because their extensive global coverage a high degree disturbance. Here we examine changes in potential interactions among them succession site on Mexican Pacific coast. Using data from chronosequence twelve sites followed over ten years, characterized five successional gradient abandoned farmland old-growth forests: forage, multiple resources, microclimate regulation, carbon storage sequestration. long-term recovery trajectory each service was modelled using linear non-linear mixed models. Interactions were examined different timeframes Spearman correlations. results showed rapid resources provision, regulation within first two decades Carbon sequestration increased slightly time, while forage no clear trend. strength pairs changed through being higher farmlands forests. Our findings suggest that adaptive management practices foster natural regeneration are cost-effective mechanisms recover critical local actors by meeting livelihood needs as well those community climate mitigation. Maintaining resilience highly depend maintenance diversity terms species services.

Abstract European forests are expanding and becoming denser following the widespread abandonment of farmland rural areas. Spontaneous forest regrowth provides a cost‐effective opportunity to restore ecosystems, enhance multifunctionality sustainability mitigate climate change. Yet, little is known about goods services that such provide people. We assessed changes in nature's contributions people (NCP) from spontaneous regrowth, i.e. expansion densification, South‐West Europe. investigated 65 plots four different landscapes with contrasting ecological societal contexts. Two located areas undergoing human exodus densification; other two, peri‐urban intense land use densification but negligible expansion. For each plot, we estimated variables related ten out 18 main NCP defined by Intergovernmental Science‐Policy Platform on Biodiversity Ecosystem Services (IPBES). Regulating material were addressed using measured field as proxies. Non‐material studied through stakeholder interviews. Our results show across cases generally associated greater regulation energy provision. Changes NCP, especially non‐material ones, strongly context‐dependent. The social perception was primarily negative more positive landscapes. Passive restoration can regulating when adaptive management applied. To optimise increase awareness interest effects this process should be analysed close coordination local stakeholders unveil quantify many complex trade‐offs involved or perceptions.

ABSTRACT Forests play a critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), yet their contributions are often misunderstood and inadequately addressed scientific discourse. This study clarifies intricate relationships between forests SDGs by examining contextual factors that influence this interplay. Through systematic literature review, we adopt mixed‐methods approach integrates quantitative mapping of themes with qualitative analysis key forest‐SDG nexuses. Our reveals forests' to specific SDGs, particularly 2 (Zero Hunger), 13 (Climate Action) 15 (Life on Land), not uniform but vary significantly based forest type, condition, management practices. These also linked degree success realizing these goals over time. Key findings indicate previous studies have treated as static entities, overlooking complexity SDGs. For instance, case SDG (“Climate Action”), frequently lauded for synergetic contributions, while potential trade‐offs evolving dynamics neglected. Similarly, earlier homogeneous generalizing impacts forests. However, distinct facets within each can relationship nuanced ways. reveal even targets, such target 2.3, connection be interpreted differently. review contributes deeper understanding socio‐ecological systems shaping outcomes, advocating perspective foster informed policy‐making sustainable management.
