Carbon Economy of Subtropical Forests
2016Compared to tropical and temperate forests, subtropical forests have received little attention in physiological and ecological studies until now, and the contribution of this ecosystem type to the global carbon cycle has not been fully assessed. In this chapter we discuss results on the carbon balance of subtropical forests at different spatial and ...

Carbon Credits for Forests and Forest Products [PDF]
, 2001 It is possible to make a current valuation of the effects of carbon dioxide which tracks a valuation done under the metric of expected present value and also tracks realized values. The implementation of a carbon credit scheme based on green accounting could go as follows: 1) At dates strictly between planned harvests, impute a credit of the value of ...

The world’s forests store an estimated 861 billion tonnes of carbon—equivalent to approximately 100 years worth of anthropogenic emissions, at current rates—and with good husbandry could potentially store up to 226 billion tonnes more. Clearly, preserving and repairing forests is a vital element of mitigating climate breakdown.

In the Policy Forum “Beneficial biofuels—the food, energy, and environment trilemma” (17 July, p. [270][1]), D. Tilman et al. neglected to mention the role of forests and carbon capture and storage. Trees offer promise as an energy crop in areas where they grow well on degraded lands.

Accurate measurement of carbon stocks and flux in forests is one of the most important scientific bases for successful climate and carbon policy implementation. Currently, there are several methods for estimating forest carbon stocks and flux. We review the four categories of methods for measuring forest biomass and estimating carbon which are ...

Forests cover about half of the American West, but a much greater proportion of the Western Mountains. Most of them are dominated by conifers rather than deciduous trees. We start with some basic forest ecology, and then explore the vulnerability of the forests of western mountains to a warming climate.

The global climate change mitigation initiative, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus (REDD+), has been seen as a new form of environmental rule to govern human-forest relationships. Through analyzing a case study of the Ulu Masen REDD+ project in Aceh, Indonesia, this dissertation examines how REDD+ has been translated ...
