SAFE OUTPUT: LiDAR used to map growth rates of individual oil palms - during drought trees nearer forest edges and young trees grew better safeproject.net/outputs/view…#oilpalm#LiDAR
Implications for Water Management under Climate Change - lessons from a land-use change gradient from pristine forest to oil palm in Borneo #baseflowsafeproject.net/outputs/view…
NEW OUTPUT: Well planned set-asides in oil palm plantations can increase biodiversity without reducing net cultivation area safeproject.net/outputs/view…#oilpalm
SAFE paper finds: riparian buffers in oil palm landscapes - the bigger the better to mitigate biodiversity decline, but still lack forest dependent-species ow.ly/qhgK50MB4Gn
A huge thank you to the tireless, dedicated field crews of @SAFE_Project, @SEARRP and Lambir, and other staff who contributed to the logistics! I estimate the paper incorporates ~35 person years of fieldwork.
Check out these papers that include data from the SAFE Project - Functional susceptibility of tropical forests to climate change (ow.ly/V9TI50KAZAA) and Taking the pulse of Earth’s tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots (ow.ly/pVUS50KAZAF)
