The lands concerned stock twice as much carbon as other lands.

The boreal forest sequesters more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem.

One report draws attention to the connection between forest systems and carbon sequestration and recommends the preservation of forest stands.

The IEFs or carbon stock change factors are intended solely for purposes of comparison.

Some sectoral background tables call for the calculation of IEFs or carbon stock change factors.

With the advent of concern about global warming and the role that carbon and carbon dioxide play, it is possible to estimate the value of a forest for sequestrating carbon.

In the UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories, reporting of carbon stock changes in carbon pools is required only in tables 5.A 5.F.

These changes involve replacement of capital stock and avoiding long term, carbon intensive technology lock in.

These changes involve replacement of capital stock and avoiding long term, carbon intensive technology lock in.

When a tree grows in the forest and gives off oxygen and soaks up carbon dioxide, and it dies and it falls to the forest floor, it gives that carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere or into the ground.

The present standing biomass of forest vegetation is estimated to contain about 70 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide.

Forests contain just over half of the carbon residing in terrestrial vegetation and soil. The carbon stored in the soil and litter of forest ecosystems also makes up a significant proportion of the total carbon pool.

Carbon, carbon, carbon, carbon, carbon.

We have now data of about 15 years, to see how that forest is contributing to the carbon reductions.

If it burns in a forest fire, it's going to give that carbon back to the atmosphere as well.

Therefore, there might be a need to apply adjustments to individual components (e.g. emission factors, inventory parameters or activity data) as well as to estimates of carbon stock changes from individual carbon pools.

Well, these Cap and Trade guys are saying that a new carbon stock market is the best way to get it done.

The Workshop brought together more than 100 experts from 42 countries to take stock of experiences to date in implementing forest landscape restoration.

So that's a carbon, that's a carbon, that's a carbon, that's a carbon, that's a carbon, that's a carbon.

Instruments aimed at tackling market failure and offering incentives to provide benefits such as watershed protection, biodiversity conservation, recreation and carbon sequestration would contribute to sustainable forest management, as well as socially more optimal forest activities.

A few provided estimates of the time period over which the estimated carbon uptake would occur through afforestation, reforestation, forest protection and woodland creation.

The annual carbon level increase in the existing 10.8 million hectares of forest is some 5.4 million tonnes (some 20 million tonnes of CO2).

For any component or carbon stock change that contributes to increasing emissions, conservativeness factors should be selected from tables 3.a, 4.a or 4.b as appropriate for any component or carbon stock change that contributes to increasing removals, conservativeness factors should be selected from tables 3.b, 4.a or 4.b, as appropriate.

All carbon carbon single bonds.

Fourthly, China has increased its carbon sinks by promoting reforestation. China s forest coverage rate increased from 12 in the early 1980 s to 18.21 today.

Well, when we look out, you and I, over that canopy of the intact primary forest, what we see is this enormous carpet of carbon.

9. Underlines the importance of sustainable forest management, the avoidance of deforestation, as well as the restoration of lost and degraded forest ecosystems of mountains in order to enhance the role of mountains as natural carbon and water regulators

The forest ecosystem and forest resources

Consider climate change few people realize that tropical forest destruction accounts for 20 of overall carbon emissions more than the world s cars, trucks, and airplanes combined.

One such initiative is the REDD framework (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), an effort to create financial value for the carbon stored in rainforests.

If we count the 70 billion tons of carbon in the dead wood, litter, and soils on the forest floor, the additional value is 1.4 trillion.

Instruments tackling market failures and offering incentives to provide watershed protection, recreation, carbon sequestration, among many other non market benefits, contribute substantially to sustainable forest management.

Those pictures we use to analyze how much carbon, how the forest is developing, and we can monitor every tree using satellite images through our cooperation.

But carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide.

The REDD partnership (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), an effort to create financial value for the carbon stored in forests, is the prime example here.

Carbon is stored in living biomass, including standing timber, branches, foliage and roots, and in dead biomass, including litter, woody debris, soil organic matter and forest products.

Forests and terrestrial ecosystems Forest management and conservation were seen by several Parties as important to protect watersheds, combat land degradation and desertification, preserve species and sequester carbon.

So you have a carbon, carbon, carbon, and then they are bonded to the hydrogens.
