متن کاملForests as carbon sinks--benefits and consequences.
With their ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, many countries have established forests on previously non-forested land with the view of offsetting greenhouse gas emissions. While these forests indisputably result in increased carbon storage in above-ground biomass, consideration of other major implications is often neglected. Forest establishment results in changes in albedo and soil carbon sto...
متن کاملAustralia savannas: seasonal Carbon sinks and sources
Through estimations of above-and below-ground standing biomass, annual biomass increment, fine root production and turnover, litterfall, canopy respiration and total soil CO 2 efflux, a carbon balance on seasonal and yearly timescales is developed for a Eucalypt open-forest savanna in northern Australia. This carbon balance is compared to estimates of carbon fluxes derived from eddy covariance ...
متن کاملMonitoring Forests as Carbon Sinks Using Remote Sensing
The Kyoto Protocol intends to limit or reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 (base year) levels and allows carbon emissions to be balanced by carbon sinks represented by vegetation (e.g. forests). The present paper is focused on three key aspects related to the capabilities of remote sensing data to help in monitoring forests as carbon sinks. The first one attends to find statis...
متن کاملLand use effects on terrestrial carbon sources and sinks
Current and past land use practices are critical in determining the distribution and size of global terrestrial carbon (C) sources and sinks. Although fossil fuel emissions dominate the anthropogenic perturbation of the global C cycle, land use still drives the largest portion of anthropogenic emissions in a number of tropical regions of Asia. The size of the emission flux owing to land use cha...
