The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people (2016, background): “We must also recognize the role that intact natural ecosystems, particularly large areas, play in overcoming the challenges that climate change presents, not only as important repositories for carbon but also because of their ability to buffer and regulate local climate regimes and help human popula”
Getting the message right on nature‐based solutions to climate change (2021, unknown): “Not only are these intact ecosystems hotspots for biodiversity, but intact old-growth forests are particularly im - portant for carbon storage and sequestration (Watson et al., 2018) while also protecting people from climate change impacts (Martin & Watson, 2016).”
Conservation implications of ecological responses to extreme weather and climate events (2018, background): “The most effective way to achieve these aims is through the conservation of intact habitats (Martin & Watson, 2016; Watson et al., 2018).”
