Schlamadinger, B.[A synopsis of land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) under the Kyoto Protocol and Marrakech Accords]A synopsis of land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) under the Kyoto Protocol and Marrakech Accords

Tropical deforestation is estimated to cause about one-quarter of anthropogenic carbon emissions, loss of biodiversity, and other environmental services. United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change talks are now considering mechanisms for avoiding deforestation (AD), but the economic p...


Kindermann, GeorgObersteiner, MichaelSohngen, B.Sathaye, JAndrasko, K.Rametsteiner, ESchlamadinger, B.Wunder, SvenBeach, Robert H.[Global cost estimates of reducing carbon emissions through avoided deforestation]Global cost estimates of reducing carbon emissions through avoided deforestation

Biomass of a mature man-made forest in West Java, Indonesia, was estimated to evaluate the carbon sequestration potential of plantation forest in the humid tropics. Twenty plots, each 0.25 ha in area and containing one to six planted species over 40 years of age and with closed canopies, were sel...


Hiratsuka, M.Toma, T.Mindawati, N.Heriansyah, I.Morikawa, Y.[Biomass of a man-made forest of timber tree species in the humid tropics of West Java, Indonesia]Biomass of a man-made forest of timber tree species in the humid tropics of West Java, Indonesia

Tree planting in the tropics is conducted for a number of reasons including carbon sequestration, but often competes with increasingly scarce water resources. The basics of forest and water relations are frequently said to be well understood but there is a pressing need to better understand and p...

Montagnini, F.Cusack, D.Petit, B.Kanninen, M.[Environmental services of native tree plantations and agroforestry systems in Central America]Environmental services of native tree plantations and agroforestry systems in Central America

Strategies for environmental governance and conservation in Africa have relied on regulatory mechanisms (policies) that further restrict already limited livelihood options by prohibiting certain land uses and isolating people from forest resources. Environmental service rewards (ESR) present an o...


German, L.Villamor, G.Twine, Edgar E.Velarde, S.J.Kidane, B.[Environmental services and the precautionary principle: using scenarios to reconcile conservation and livelihood objectives in upper catchments]Environmental services and the precautionary principle: using scenarios to reconcile conservation and livelihood objectives in upper catchments

The paper describes the Version 2 of the CO2FIX (CO2FIX V.2) model, a user-friendly tool for dynamically estimating the carbon sequestration potential of forest management, agroforesty and afforestation projects. CO2FIX V.2 is a multi-cohort ecosystem-level model based on carbon accounting of for...

Allometric models for dominant shade tree species and coffee plants (Coffea arabica) were developed for coffee agroforestry systems in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. The studied shade tree species were Cordia alliodora, Juglans olanchana, Inga tonduzzi and I. punctata. The models predict aboveground bioma...

Land-use options that increase resilience and reduce vulnerability of contemporary societies are fundamental to livelihood improvement and adaptation to environmental change. Agroforestry as a traditional land-use adaptation may potentially support livelihood improvement through simultaneous prod...

The Emissions Gap Report 2013 from the United Nations Environment Programme restates the claim that changing to no-till practices in agriculture, as an alternative to conventional tillage, causes an accumulation of organic carbon in soil, thus mitigating climate change through carbon sequestratio...
