Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon pools and flux of global forest ecosystems.
Robert K. Dixon,Allen M. Solomon,Sandra Brown,Richard A. Houghton,M. C. Trexier,J. Wisniewski +5 more
TL;DR: Slowing deforestation, combined with an increase in forestation and other management measures to improve forest ecosystem productivity, could conserve or sequester significant quantities of carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree allometry and improved estimation of carbon stocks and balance in tropical forests
Jérôme Chave,C. Andalo,Sandra Brown,Michael A. Cairns,Jeffrey Q. Chambers,Derek Eamus,H. Fölster,François Fromard,Niro Higuchi,T. Kira,J. P. Lescure,Bruce Walker Nelson,H. Ogawa,H. Puig,B. Riera,Takuo Yamakura +15 more
TL;DR: A critical reassessment of the quality and the robustness of these models across tropical forest types, using a large dataset of 2,410 trees ≥ 5 cm diameter, directly harvested in 27 study sites across the tropics, is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benchmark map of forest carbon stocks in tropical regions across three continents.
Sassan Saatchi,Nancy L. Harris,Sandra Brown,Michael A. Lefsky,Edward T. A. Mitchard,William Salas,Brian R. Zutta,Wolfgang Buermann,Simon L. Lewis,Stephen J. Hagen,Silvia Petrova,Lee J. T. White,Miles R. Silman,Alexandra C. Morel +13 more
TL;DR: A “benchmark” map of biomass carbon stocks over 2.5 billion ha of forests on three continents, encompassing all tropical forests, for the early 2000s is presented, which will be invaluable for REDD assessments at both project and national scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring and estimating tropical forest carbon stocks: making REDD a reality
TL;DR: In this article, a range of methods available to estimate national-level forest carbon stocks in developing countries are reviewed, including ground-based and remote-sensing measurements of forest attributes using allometric relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root biomass allocation in the world's upland forests.
TL;DR: In this article, the root biomass density is estimated based on existing data from the literature and linear regression analysis is used to determine if a reliable method to estimate root density for forests could be developed.
