Natural forests as climate actors

Anastassia Makarieva <ammak...@gmail.com>: Oct 14 09:27AM +0200 Dear colleagues, you might be interested in my upcoming talk at IAS-TUM. To register, one should contact eve...@tum.ias.de   Natural forests as climate actors   https://www.ias.tum.de/ias/events/events-single-view/article/scientists-meet-scientists-virtual-tum-ias-wednesday-coffee-talk-by-dr-anastassia-makarieva-natural-forests-as-climate-actors/   International climate discourse mentions forests in two contexts: as carbon depositaries and as renewable sources of materials and energy. If implemented in global policies, this narrow view on forests can, contrary to expectations, worsen climate destabilization. Two crucial aspects are undervalued and understudied. First is the major role of forests as regulators of the various aspects of the water cycle, including cloud cover (a major source of climate uncertainties) and ocean-to-land and transcontinental transport of atmospheric moisture. Second is the difference in the environmental functions of primary forests, largely unperturbed by anthropogenic activities, versus exploited tree stands. While the former have evolved to maximize environmental homeostasis, the latter were selected to maximize economic productivity. The two cannot be maximized simultaneously. Successful strategies of climate mitigation should prioritize preservation of still extant self-sustainable natural forests for humanity to continue benefiting from their climate stabilization potential.   Best wishes Anastassia
