DESCRIPTION:OCTF seminar followed by drinks\, all welcome\, booking requir
 ed\n\nIntact tropical forests captured 15% of our carbon dioxide emissions
  over the early 2000s\, storing it in wood and other forms of biomass. How
 ever\, the capacity of Amazonian forests to capture excess carbon from the
  atmosphere is waning. In this seminar\, Dr Wannes Hubau will show how the
  African tropical forest ‘carbon sink’ is evolving and whether we have
  pushed ‘The Lungs of our Planet’ to their very limits.\n\nDr Wannes H
 ubau (°1985) explores tropical African vegetation responses to climate ch
 ange at several timescales\, combining repeated forest inventory data from
  permanent plots (spanning decades)\, growth-ring research (centuries) and
  fossil charcoal analysis (millennia). He obtained his PhD at Ghent Univer
 sity in 2013 and conducted post-doctoral research at Leeds University\, th
 e Wood Biology Service of the AfricaMuseum and Ghent University. He led nu
 merous field expeditions in four African countries (Liberia\, Ghana\, Came
 roon\, D.R.Congo).\n\nSpeakers:\nDr Wannes Hubau (Ghent University)
