Management of temperate forests has the potential to increase carbon sinks and mitigate climate change. However, those opportunities may be confounded by negative climate change impacts. We therefore need a better understanding of climate change alterations to temperate forest carbon dynamics before developing mitigation strategies. The purpose of this project was to investigate the interactions of species composition, fire, management and climate change on the Copper–Pine creek valley, a temperate coniferous forest with a wide range of growing conditions.
From The Bhopal Aftermath To The Niyamgiri Fiasco, Corporate Muscle Stands Exposed

A few key events over the past few months have brought to the fore the duplicity of the Indian corporate sector and exposed, if any further exposure was needed, their principle of putting profits before people.
A recent finding shows that over 35 billion tonnes of 'mysteriously missing' carbon dioxide from fossil fuels burnt over four decades went to ground in the coniferous forests of the North.
