TL;DR: In this paper, the authors brought together forest sector C budgets for Canada, United States, Europe, Russia, and China that were derived from forest inventory information, allometric relationships, and supplementary data sets and models.

TL;DR: Increasing deployment of sustainable bioenergy with carbon removal and sequestration, together with structural shift toward low carbon-intensive fuels, will turn out to be instrumental for such a risk-limiting regime and might offer ancillary benefits for sustainable development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the changes in the carbon cycle that could be achieved with a global, largescale afforestation program that is economically, politically, and technically feasible, and estimated that of the areas regarded as suitable for large-scale plantations, only about 345 million ha would actually be available for plantations and agroforestry for the sole purpose of sequestering carbon.

TL;DR: In this article, Foody et al. compared four satellite derived 1 km land cover datasets and found that while these datasets have in many cases reasonable agreement at a global level in terms of total area and general spatial pattern, there is limited agreement on the spatial distribution of the individual land classes.

TL;DR: In this article, the Forestry Project (FOR) at IIASA has produced a full carbon account (FCA) for Russia for 1990, together with scenarios for 2010, based on a comprehensive geographic information system comprising georeferenced descriptions of the environment and land of Russia.
