Payments for Ecosystem Services: Rife With Problems and Potential—For Transformation Towards Sustainability (2017, background): “5 because their fast growth satisfies carbon sequestration goals, but also consume much water, cause considerable soil loss and sedimentation, and may provide little habitat for biodiversity, even at maturity (Farley et al., 2005; Jackson et al., 2005; Jindal et al., 2008; Bremer & Farley, 2010).”
Species-specific and general allometric equations for estimating tree biomass components of subtropical forests in southern China (2016, background): “These forests provide various ecosystem goods and services, including provision of wood, carbon (C) sequestration, soil protection, provision of clean water, biodiversity conservation and climate moderation (Jackson et al. 2005; McKinley et al. 2011).”
Ecosystem Services in Decision Making: Time to Deliver (2009, background): “There are also many fine-scale studies of ecosystem production functions, typically focusing on a single service (Kremen et al. 2002; Ricketts et al. 2004; Jackson et al. 2005; Hougner et al. 2006).”
Ecosystem services and agriculture: tradeoffs and synergies (2010, background): “Fast-growing plantation forests may be an exception to this generalization, however; they can help regulate groundwater recharge, but they may reduce stream flow and salinize or acidify some soils (Jackson et al. 2005).”
Recent trends in vegetation greenness in China significantly altered annual evapotranspiration and water yield (2016, background): “Some studies showed that afforestation or reforestation could reduce available water supply (Zhang et al 2001, Andréassian 2004, Brown et al 2005, Jackson et al 2005).”
The natural fix? The role of ecosystems in climate mitigation: a UNEP rapid response assessment. (2009, background): “Tree plantations can support groundwater recharge and upwelling but may also considerably reduce stream flow and salinise and acidify some soils, thus leading to negative effects on water quantity and quality, as well as soil quality (Jackson et al. 2005).”
A checklist for ecological management of landscapes for conservation. (2007, background): “Managers need to be better aware of relationships between, for example, patch and landscape-level land management activities such as restoration and plantation forestry and attributes of aquatic ecosystems such as streamflow (Jackson et al. 2005).”
Protecting climate with forests (2008, background): “albedo, but they are fire-prone [24] and often use more water than native vegetation [ 19 ].”
The economic potential of bioenergy for climate change mitigation with special attention given to implications for the land system (2011, background): “Shadow prices of irrigation water rise with increasing forest conservation, because less land is available for rainfed agriculture, and biomass accumulation for dedicated bioenergy cultivation leads to higher evapotranspiration rates, which can reduce water availability in regions where water is alr”
Seed predation as a barrier to alien conifer invasions (2008, background): “Plantations can modify soil properties like pH and water content (Jackson et al. 2005) that could facilitate seedling establishment near plantations.”
Ecohydrological advances and applications in plant-water relations research: a review (2011, background): “Salinity levels under tree plantations can reach levels 15–30% greater than under adjacent grasslands (Jackson et al. 2005).”
