We set out a general framework to discuss carbon sequestration programs when different alternatives are available and each of them yields sequestration benefits far into the future and at varying rates. We focus on reforestations, since trees grow for a long time, at varying rates, and different...

Much of the guidance about potential impacts of reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) speculates how efforts would be implemented and draws lessons from other mechanisms, such as payments for ecosystem services (PES). However, with few REDD activities underway, little...

A major focus is the … means by which forests and forest management can contribute to the sequestration of carbon. The potential role of forests … include forest protection; the management of forests for carbon for joint products, i.e., the management of forests to …

The Kyoto protocol allows Annex I countries to deduct carbon sequestered by land use, land-use change and forestry from their national carbon emissions. Thornley and Cannell (2000) demonstrated that the objectives of maximizing timber and carbon sequestration are not complementary. Based on this...

The Kyoto Protocol, which came in force in February 2005, allows countries to resort to «supplementary activities» consisting particularly in carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. Existing papers studying the optimal carbon sequestration recognize the importance of the temporality of...
