Climate Change Working Group Final Report, Phase II: Carbon sequestration and trace gas emissions in slash-and-burn and alternative land uses in the humid tropics, November 2000.

ABSTRACT:

The overall objectives of the Climate Change Working Group during Phase II of the ASB Programme was to determine those land-use systems that sequester more carbon and reduce trace gas emissions. These objectives were met through collection of strategic information on changes in carbon stocks and land use; development of a database on trace gas fluxes from different land-use systems; and assessment of land rehabilitation techniques for increasing carbon sequestration. The activities of the Working Group were conducted through a collaborative effort involving numerous international and national ASB partners, and the main findings of these activities are presented in this report.
