In this paper, we present an intensification model based on the intensity of exploitation and use of forests and forest lands as a relevant framework for analysing the appearance, dynamics, and evolution of different types of secondary forests. The systematic driving forces responsible for the di...

This paper provides the general objectives of the special issue: secondary forests in Asia: their diversity, importance and role in future environmental management. It provides a brief overview of the renewed attention to tropical secondary forests and sketches the history of research on this sub...

The proposed Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol paves the way for financial and technological transfers to support forestry projects that sequester carbon or protect carbon stocks. This paper examines the implications of CDM for forest conservation and sustainable use by draw...


Smith, J.Mulongoy, K.Persson, R.Sayer, Jeffrey A.[Harnessing carbon markets for tropical forest conservation: towards a more realistic assessment]Harnessing carbon markets for tropical forest conservation: towards a more realistic assessment

This article contributes to the debate on the social implications of carbon forestry projects by showing that tradeoffs exist between social benefits of projects and their cost-effectiveness. Large scale industrial plantations and strict forest protection are economically viable, but pose the hig...

Autor: Smith, J.

Economists have long argued that payment for the environmental services of forests could contribute to forest conservation and sustainable use. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol could make this concept a reality by allowing carbon-emitting industries in developed countri...


Smith, J.[Forests and the Kyoto protocol: implications for Asia's forestry agenda]Forests and the Kyoto protocol: implications for Asia's forestry agenda

Under the Kyoto Protocol industrialized countries will be able to meet carbon emission reduction commitments by financing forestry projects that sequester carbon in developing countries. While this mechanism would compensate for missing markets in forest environmental services, it could also enab...


Smith, J.Applegate, G.[Could payments for forest carbon contribute to improved tropical forest management?]Could payments for forest carbon contribute to improved tropical forest management?

This special issue brings together 15 papers entirely dedicated to secondary forests in tropical Asia: 1. Tropical secondary forests in Asia: introduction and synthesis. 2. A conceptual framework for the assessment of tropical secondary forest dynamics and sustainable development potential in Asi...
