These forests are still very valuable both for carbon storage and for biodiversity. A carbon threshold should be established to ensure that land use change remains carbon neutral, or [...]

The idea is that because of intense habitat fragmentation, isolated patches of primary (or at least, reasonably intact secondary) forest can be linked by planting some sort of long [...]

I and many others would assume a direct transfer of the concept but is there any work to show it?

For the smaller seaweed species, the number and diversity of dependent invertebrates are massive, [...]
