carbon sequestration in rangeland ecosystems has been identified as a suitable strategy to offset greenhouse gas emissions that information of carbon sequestration hotspots is a good tool to improve rangeland management. objectives for this study were to assessment potential carbon sequestration in various rangeland types, to identify carbon sequestration hotspots and to study the effective fact...

One of the goals of the International Carbon Sequestration Project in South Khorasan Province is to study the sustainability of natural resources, especially in the rehabilitated areas, by reducing the reliance of villagers to the natural resources of the region, creating alternative livelihoods with job empowerment and solving the problems of villagers in the region, especially rural women. Th...

Rangelands are the most important ecosystem for carbon sequestration. Knowledge of plant response to grazing is one of important requirements for rangeland management. Stocking rate is one of main factors in destruction of the vegetation cover in rangeland ecosystems. Livestock grazing has the potential to substantially alter carbon storage in grassland ecosystem. This study examined the effect...

co2 is the main greenhouse gas which urban forests have a high potential to absorb and sequestrate it. the air pollution of tehran is one of the most important environmental problems of the iran. to do this research 40 years old stands of robinia pseudoacacia and fraxinus rotundifolia and the surrounding barren land ( as blank) were selected in chitgar forest park of tehran and the amount of ca...

ongoing climate change has been a major global challenge since the 1880s. sequestration of carbon(c) in rangelands ecosystems could provide a net carbon sink to offset increases in atmospheric c in global scale. this research is aimed at estimating the above-ground biomass carbon sequestration potential in iran. for this purpose, total rangelands area and productivity data were extracted from t...

This paper reviews the Validation Phase (Phase II) of the Department of Energy's Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships initiative. In 2003, the U.S. Department of Energy created a nationwide network of seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) to help determine and implement the technology, infrastructure, and regulations most appropriate to promote carbon sequestration in di...

climate changes and global warming are considered as very important challenges of sustainable development. carbon sequestration is the easiest and cheapest way to reduce the greenhouse gases, especially carbon which constitutes the largest portion of them. in the present study, the potential of carbon sequestration in four plant species of atriplex canescens, haloxylon persicum, artemisia siebe...

Leakage from forest carbon sequestration—the amount of a program’s direct carbon benefits undermined by carbon releases elsewhere—depends critically on demanders’ ability to substitute non-targeted timber for timber targeted by the program. Analytic, econometric, and sector-level optimization models are combined to estimate leakage from different forest carbon sequestration activities. Empirica...
