Carbon Stocks and Land Cover Change Estimates in Central Africa - Where Do We Stand? / Etat des Connaissances sur les Stocks de Carbone et Leurs Variations dans les Forêts d'Afrique Centrale
No matter which final REDD mechanism is chosen, we will need to know as accurately as possible how much carbon (C) is:
- stored in different vegetation types (above and below ground),
- stored in the other C pools (litter, dead wood matter and soil), and
- released through AFOLU (agriculture, forestry and other land use) activities.
This paper summarises the different compartments of the carbon cycle in the forests
