Book Synopsis Carbon Stocks Evaluation in Tropical Forest, Congo by : Romeo Ekoungoulou
Download or read book Carbon Stocks Evaluation in Tropical Forest, Congo written by Romeo Ekoungoulou and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of climate change, particular attention is given to carbon which is a major constituent of greenhouse gases (GHG). The forest has a very important role in mitigation of this phenomenon. But the assessment of carbon stocks in the forest ecosystems is not yet known satisfactorily, for countries with this heritage can access the "carbon credit" which is another way to take advantage of the forest. Very little information exists in the field of forest carbon about the Republic of Congo. The results of this study will be useful to the National Congolese Program about the carbon forest sequestration by MEFDD-REDD+/WRI Project which is managed by The Congolese Ministry of Forest Economy and Sustainable Development. Within the carbon market, this study (Carbon stocks evaluation in tropical forest of Congo) could allow the Republic of Congo to get the carbon credit.

Download or read book Life After Logging written by E. Meijaard and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a technical review of ecological and life history information on a range of Bornean wildlife species, aimed at identifying what makes these species sensitive to timber harvesting practices and associated impacts. It addresses three audiences: 1) those involved in assessing and regulating timber harvesting activities in Southeast Asia, 2) those involved in trying to achieve conservation goals in the region, and 3) those undertaking research to improve multipurpose forest management. This book shows that forest management can be improved in many simple ways to allow timber extraction and wildlife conservation to be more compatible than under current practices. The recommendations can also be valuable to the many governmental and non-governmental organisations promoting sustainable forest management and eco-labelling. Finally, it identifies a number of shortcomings and gaps in knowledge, which the hope can interest the scientific community and promote further research. This review is, an important scientific step toward understanding and improving sustainable forestry practices for long-term biodiversity conservation. Even in the short term, however, significant improvements can be made to improve both conservation and the efficiency of forest management, and there is no need to delay action due to a perceived lack of information. In the longer term it is expected that the recommendations from this review will be implemented, and that further research will continue to help foster an acceptable balance among the choices needed to maintain healthy wildlife populations and biodiversity in a productive forest estate.

Book Synopsis Aboveground Carbon Stocks and Sinks in Recovering Tropical Forests by :
Download or read book Aboveground Carbon Stocks and Sinks in Recovering Tropical Forests written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, large-scale assessments and country-level reporting of forest carbon stocks and sinks have been relying on coarse estimates provided in 2006 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). However, these estimates were based on a handful of studies per global ecological zone (also known as ecozone), did not provide methods for their derivation nor measures of uncertainty, and did not distinguish between forest successional stages.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Research on the Conservation and Restoration of Tropical Dry Forests by : Bhadouria, Rahul
Download or read book Handbook of Research on the Conservation and Restoration of Tropical Dry Forests written by Bhadouria, Rahul and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical dry forests are the most exploited and endangered ecosystems in the world. A combination of climatic and human factors often reduce these forests to patches of dry scrubs or savannas. Because these ecosystems experience a more arduous and less anticipated environment, they are more prone to environmental stress as plant communities are developed. Therefore, urgent research is necessary to understand both the detrimental issues and problem-solving approaches to conserving these important forests. The Handbook of Research on the Conservation and Restoration of Tropical Dry Forests is a pivotal reference source that combines theory and practice on the current trends and issues in this important ecological subject and discusses future challenges towards conservation strategies of these tropical dry forests. While highlighting topics such as forest management, natural regeneration, and silviculture, this publication examines the anthropogenic impacts on tropical dry forests and the necessity to rebuild their ecosystems. This book is ideally designed for state forest agency professionals, resource managers, non-governmental organization agents, ecologists, botanists, environmentalists, students, and researchers seeking current research on the threats to these forests.
Book Synopsis Forest Biomass and Carbon by : Gopal Shukla
Download or read book Forest Biomass and Carbon written by Gopal Shukla and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests grow and their biomass increases; they absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it in plant tissue. Understanding the biomass of forest vegetation is essential for determining the storage of carbon in the dominant tree component and computing carbon cycling at a regional as well as global level. This book consisting of five chapters will give a comprehensive understanding of biomass production vis-à-vis carbon storage in relation to litter and nutrient dynamics of the forest by analyzing the mode and magnitude of biomass production and carbon storage as a function of various silvicultural factors.

Book Synopsis Temperate and Boreal Rainforests of the World by : Dominick A. DellaSala
Download or read book Temperate and Boreal Rainforests of the World written by Dominick A. DellaSala and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temperate rainforests are biogeographically unique. Compared to their tropical counterparts, temperate rainforests are rarer and are found disproportionately along coastlines. Because most temperate rainforests are marked by the intersection of marine, terrestrial, and freshwater systems, these rich ecotones are among the most productive regions on Earth. Globally, temperate rainforests store vast amounts of carbon, provide habitat for scores of rare and endemic species with ancient affinities, and sustain complex food-web dynamics. In spite of their global significance, however, protection levels for these ecosystems are far too low to sustain temperate rainforests under a rapidly changing global climate and ever expanding human footprint. Therefore, a global synthesis is needed to provide the latest ecological science and call attention to the conservation needs of temperate and boreal rainforests. A concerted effort to internationalize the plight of the world’s temperate and boreal rainforests is underway around the globe; this book offers an essential (and heretofore missing) tool for that effort. DellaSala and his contributors tell a compelling story of the importance of temperate and boreal rainforests that includes some surprises (e.g., South Africa, Iran, Turkey, Japan, Russia). This volume provides a comprehensive reference from which to build a collective vision of their future.
