High-resolution forest carbon stocks and emissions in the Amazon.
Efforts to mitigate climate change through the Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) depend on mapping and monitoring of tropical forest carbon stocks and emissions over large geographic areas. With a new integrated use of satellite imaging, airborne light detection and ranging, and field plots, we mapped aboveground carbon stocks and emissions at 0.1-ha resolution over 4....
متن کاملEcosystem carbon emissions from 2015 forest fires in interior Alaska
BACKGROUND In the summer of 2015, hundreds of wildfires burned across the state of Alaska, and consumed more than 1.6 million ha of boreal forest and wetlands in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Mapping of 113 large wildfires using Landsat satellite images from before and after 2015 indicated that nearly 60% of this area was burned at moderate-to-high severity levels. Field measurements near the town ...
متن کاملCarbon emissions from forest conversion by Kalimantan oil palm plantations
Oil palm supplies >30% of world vegetable oil production1. Plantation expansion is occurring throughout the tropics, predominantly in Indonesia, where forests with heterogeneous carbon stocks undergo high conversion rates2–4. Quantifying oil palm’s contribution to global carbon budgets therefore requires refined spatio-temporal assessments of land cover converted to plantations5,6. Here, we rep...
متن کاملUncertainty in estimating carbon emissions from boreal forest fires
[ I ] The uncertainty in carbon einissions fi-om fire was esti~nated for the boreal region of Alaska over the 50 years of recorded wildfire. Building on previous work where carbon emissions were estimated using a geographic infonnation systems-based model, the uncertainty attached to the different parameters of the basic equation was assessed and propagated through the equation using Monte Carl...
متن کاملBiodiversity co-benefits of policies to reduce forest-carbon emissions
1 Policies for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) under development through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will financially reward developing countries that reduce forest-based carbon emissions through initiatives to decrease deforestation and forest degradation, conserve and enhance forest-carbon stocks and promote sustainab...
