@HollyCo26588808 Where? Tree-planting is bad for #OpenNaturalEcosystems such as #TropicalGrassyBiomes and #Savannas.
-
Excellent review of satellite remote sensing for mapping #GrassyBiomes at regional and global scales.
This is crucial for #SavannaScience and the prevention of #Forestization of #OpenNaturalEcosystems such as #TropicalGrassyBiomes.
The EU and FAO need to read this, and other recent related work, and then realise they need to update their antiquated definition of "forest" based only on veg structure and ignoring #FunctionalTraits.

The descriptions and maps of #TropicalGrassyBiomes in the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology (v2.1) are an excellent resource.

They are not based on the FAO's outdated definitions that perpetuate the misclassification of savannas as "forest" or "degraded forest".
They are based on current thinking about #OpenBiomes /
#OpenNaturalEcosystems in the framework of #AlternateBiomeStates.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169534722000611?via%3Dihub
