Open AccessCarbon recovery following selective logging in tropical rainforests in Kalimantan, Indonesia
The knowledge gap regarding post-logging carbon recovery by increased growth is becoming more crucial to understand the significant contribution of forest to climate change mitigation. We assessed the ability ...

Open AccessHarvested wood products and REDD+: looking beyond the forest border
The focus of REDD+ is sensu stricto on maintaining forest carbon stocks. We extend the scope of sustainable management of forest from forests to timber utilization, and study carbon offsets resulting from the ...

Open AccessModeling the CO2-effects of forest management and wood usage on a regional basis
At the 15th Conference of Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Copenhagen, 2009, harvested wood products were identified as an additional carbon pool. This modification eliminates inconsisten...

Open AccessAvoiding treatment bias of REDD+ monitoring by sampling with partial replacement
Implementing REDD+ renders the development of a measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) system necessary to monitor carbon stock changes. MRV systems generally apply a combination of remote sensing techn...

Sampling in Forest Inventories
In sampling, a part of a population is selected and used to obtain estimates of characteristics of that population. The current chapter gives an overview on sampling methods applied in the scope of forest inve...

Measurements and Assessments on Field Plots
Field assessments and remote sensing imagery are the most essential data sources in forest inventories. While remote sensing provides spatially explicit data for large areas, field (in situ) assessments provid...

Open AccessImplications of sampling design and sample size for national carbon accounting systems
Countries willing to adopt a REDD regime need to establish a national Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system that provides information on forest carbon stocks and carbon stock changes. Due to the...

Open AccessCombating the effects of climatic change on forests by mitigation strategies
Forests occur across diverse biomes, each of which shows a specific composition of plant communities associated with the particular climate regimes. Predicted future climate change will have impacts on the vul...

Open AccessReduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD): a climate change mitigation strategy on a critical track
Following recent discussions, there is hope that a mechanism for reduction of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) will be agreed by the Parties of the UNFCCC at their 15th meeting in Cop...
