| Abstract | The overall objectives of the Climate Change Working Group during Phase II of the Alternatives to Slash-and-Burn Programme (ASB) were to determine those land-use systems that sequester more carbon and reduce trace gas emissions. The research consisted of three activities:
1 Collect strategic information on changes in carbon stocks and land use,
2 Develop a database on trace gas fluxes from different land-use systems, and
3 Assess land rehabilitation techniques for increasing carbon sequestration |
