Shanley, P.Stockdale, M.[Traditional knowledge, forest management, and certification: a reality check]Traditional knowledge, forest management, and certification: a reality check

Biodiversity monitoring activities can hinder rather than promote conservation in tropical countries.The national institutions responsible for conservation in developing countries have very limited resources, which given donors and richer agencies scope for considerable influence. However, those ...


Sheil, Douglas[Why doesn't biodiversity monitoring support conservation priorities in the tropics?]Why doesn't biodiversity monitoring support conservation priorities in the tropics?

ERS wind scatterometer (WSC) and SSNI/I data are compared for monitoring the seasonal variation of herbaceous vegetation over a sahelian region. Temporal evolution of polarization difference brightness temperatures derived from SSM/I data and WSC backscattering coefficient acquired at 45° of inci...


Frison, P.L.Mougin, E.Jarlan, L.Karam, M.A.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.[Comparison of ERS wind-scatterometer and SSM/I data for Sahelian vegetation monitoring]Comparison of ERS wind-scatterometer and SSM/I data for Sahelian vegetation monitoring

Secretariats are an increasingly common feature in Africa’s transboundary river basin organizations (RBOs). Non-secretariat-based forms of transboundary RBOs nonetheless also exist, and such forms of cooperation have often functioned effectively. These realities drive questions about the rational...


Saruchera, DavisonLautze, Jonathan[Transboundary river basin organizations in Africa: assessing the secretariat]Transboundary river basin organizations in Africa: assessing the secretariat

Timber companies and policy makers in the Brazilian Amazon urgently need financial information on forest management. Results from a few experiments, case studies, and surveys have been groundbreaking, but are insufficient. A strategic partnership between timber companies and research organization...


Pokorny, B.Steinbrenner, M.[Collaborative monitoring of production and costs of timber harvest operations in the Brazilian Amazon]Collaborative monitoring of production and costs of timber harvest operations in the Brazilian Amazon
Harmel, RDHathaway, JMWagner, KLWolfe, JEKarthikeyan, RFrancesconi, WendyMcCarthy, DT[Uncertainty in monitoring E. coli concentrations in streams and stormwater runoff]Uncertainty in monitoring E. coli concentrations in streams and stormwater runoff

Discusses methods for measuring and monitoring different components of biodiversity in tropical forests. Considers the conservation of biodiversity in tropical forests including the use of criteria and indicators, the zonation concept of management, the use of buffer zones, and extractive...


Boyle, T.J.B.Sayer, Jeffrey A.[Measuring, monitoring and conserving biodiversity in managed tropical forests]Measuring, monitoring and conserving biodiversity in managed tropical forests

The Reduced-Impact Logging Project, a pilot carbon offset project, was initiated in 1992 when a power company provided funds to a timber concessionaire to implement timber harvesting guidelines in dipterocarp forest. The rationale for the offset is that when logging damage is reduced, more carbon...


Pinard, M.A.Putz, F.E.[Monitoring carbon sequestration benefits associated with a reduced-impact logging project in Malaysia]Monitoring carbon sequestration benefits associated with a reduced-impact logging project in Malaysia

Rapid, precise, and globally comparable methods for monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes are required for accurate GHG inventories from different cropping systems and management practices. Manual gas sampling followed by gas chromatography (GC) is widely used for measuring GHG fluxes in agricul...


Tirol-Padre, AgnesRai, MGathala MSharma SKumar, V.Sharma PCSharma DKWassmann, ReinerLadha, Jagdish Kumar[Assessing the performance of the photo-acoustic infrared gas monitor for measuring CO2, N2O, and CH4 fluxes in two major cereal rotations]Assessing the performance of the photo-acoustic infrared gas monitor for measuring CO2, N2O, and CH4 fluxes in two major cereal rotations

International research for development is under increasing pressure to demonstrate development outcomes that enhance people’s food security and well-being while preserving the natural resource base. The CGIAR Research Programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) integrates t...
