Current remote sensing products largely focus on deforestation rather than forest degradation, and depend on machine learning calibrated with extensive field measurements. To address this, we used MODIS time series to develop a novel approach for mapping forest stability across forest biomes.<\/div><\/div><\/article><!-- .hentry --><\/div><div data-id=\"id-1776\" class=\"lsow-grid-item lsow-portfolio-item  term-6 term-30\"><article id=\"post-1776\" class=\"post-1776 publications type-publications status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry researchfield-forest-carbon-accounting researchfield-policy publicationtype-policy-papers author-brendan-mackey author-heather-keith case_study-global\"><div class=\"lsow-project-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/primaryforestsandclimate.org\/publications\/burning-forests-for-energy-is-not-a-source-clean-energy\/\" target=\"_self\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/primaryforestsandclimate.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Holz_Pellets.jpg\" class=\"lsow-image skip-lazy no-lazyload exclude-me a3-notlazy wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primaryforestsandclimate.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Holz_Pellets.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/primaryforestsandclimate.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Holz_Pellets-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"lsow-entry-text-wrap \"><h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/primaryforestsandclimate.org\/publications\/burning-forests-for-energy-is-not-a-source-clean-energy\/\" title=\"Policy brief: Burning forests for energy is not a source clean energy\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark\">Policy brief: Burning forests for energy is not a source clean energy<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"lsow-entry-meta\"><span class=\"published\"><abbr title=\"Tuesday, September, 2022, 8:31 am\">13\/09\/2022<\/abbr><\/span><\/div><div class=\"entry-summary\">The recent shift towards using forest biomass burning for energy comes with grave risks of highly perverse outcomes, including increased CO2 emissions and negative impacts on forest ecosystem integrity.<\/div><\/div><\/article><!-- .hentry --><\/div><\/div><!-- .lsow-portfolio --><\/div><!-- .lsow-portfolio-wrap --><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Director and Director of the Griffith Climate Action Beacon at Griffith University, contributing to community planning and engagement in forest projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41,"menu_order":1,"template":"","format":"standard","project-partner":[15,116],"researchfield":[108,14],"class_list":["post-40","researcher","type-researcher","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-partner-griffith-university","project-partner-primary-forest-alliance","researchfield-ecosystem-integrity","researchfield-forest-carbon-accounting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Brendan Mackey - Primary Forests &amp;
