Wertz-Kanounnikoff, S.Verchot, Louis V.Kanninen, M.Murdiyarso, Daniel[How can we monitor, report and verify carbon emissions from forests?]How can we monitor, report and verify carbon emissions from forests?

During the last two decades, the Costa Rican government has promoted the establishment of Tectona grandis plantations for sawn timber. However, there is a lack of knowledge on optimum spacing and on thinning regimes, in contrast to high expectations of final mean diameter at breast height (DBH) b...

The area of forest plantations in the tropics worldwide is increasing as a response to the expansion of degraded lands. Rural farmers of many regions of the dry and humid areas are responding to government and other incentives, dedicating portions of their land to native and exotic tree plantatio...

This report describes the conceptual approach of the CO2FIX V 3.1 model, as well as its implementation and numerous examples. This stand level simulation model is a tool which quantifies the C stocks and fluxes in the forest biomass, the soil organic matter and the wood products chain. Included a...

The Costa Rican government has promoted the establishment of high yielding plantations, expecting to produce high quality timber. Nowdays the management of some species have been uncertain, since wood quality and yield are becoming lower than expected. Heartwood content is a determinant character...

Fast grwoing tree species have been used in many tropical countries for a variety of production purposes, including timber wood (as monoculture and as mixture of various species), silvopastoril (combined with cattle), agroforestry (combined with coffee culture mainly), and with other purposes suc...

This study determines whether the establishment of tropical protected areas (PAs) has led to a reduction in deforestation within their boundaries or whether deforestation has been displaced to adjacent unprotected areas: a process termed neighbourhood leakage. We processed and analysed 98 corres...

Silvia-Forest Management System is a computer application designed to help managers and technicians in the sustainable management of forest plantations. Silvia version 2 includes a plantations database, an equations database, and modules to simulate future grwoth and yield, process inventory data...

Las respuestas más importantes al cambio climático se enfocan en la mitigación (reducción de la acumulación de gases causantes del efecto invernadero) en vez de centrarse en la adaptación (reducción de la vulnerabilidad de la sociedad y los ecosistemas). No obstante, puesto que actualmente se rec...
