The influence of stand variables and human use on biomass and carbon stocks of a transitional African forest: Implications for forest carbon projects

2015-09-01

Abstract excerpt

The viability and effectiveness of forestry-based carbon projects depends on the accurate estimation of carbon stocks as well as understanding the variables that influence carbon stocks, including human activity. However, for much of Africa, accurate, ground-based measurements are few, forests have centuries of human use, and the variables that influence forest biomass and carbon stocks are not well understood. Th...
