A Modelling Framework for Addressing the Synergies Between Global Conventions Through Land Use Changes : Carbon Sequestration, Biodiversity Conservation, Prevention of Land Degradation and Food Security in Agricultural and Forested Lands in Developing Countries

Ponce-Hernandez, Raul - 2015

This paper proposed a methodological framework for the assessment of carbon stocks and the development and identification of land use, land use change and land management scenarios, whereby enhancing carbon sequestration synergistically increases biodiversity, the prevention of land degradation...

Climate policy integration in a land use system with ecological thresholds

Lopez, Martin - In: Economic and environmental studies : a journal for … 19 (2019) 1/49, pp. 113-135

The land use sector is an area with high potential to pursue mitigation and adaptation goals alike. However, due to the complexity derived from managing landscapes with multiple objectives and the lack of tools to assess the outcome, this potential is presumably subtilized in practice. In order...

Conservation tillage mitigates drought-induced soybean yield losses in the US Corn Belt

Chen, Bowen; Gramig, Benjamin M.; Yun, Seong Do - In: Q open : a journal of agricultural, climate, … 1 (2021) 1, pp. 1-29

Conservation tillage has been widely recommended for implementation in the U.S. for its environmental benefits. The effect of conservation tillage on crop yield is a subject of continued concern amongst farmers who have not adopted the practice. Previous empirical research on the yield...

Land, environment and climate : contributing to the global public good

Hertel, Thomas W. - 2013

This paper discusses global public goods related to the world';s land resources, their current provision and likely future provision, their potential impacts on the world's poorest households, as well as prospects for using foreign assistance to enhance these outcomes. Specifically, the paper...

Technical Greenhouse-Gas mitigation potentials of biochar soil incorporation in Germany

Teichmann, Isabel - 2014

Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its deployment in soils is increasingly discussed as a promising means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. For a wide range of...

An economic assessment of soil carbon sequestration with biochar in Germany

Teichmann, Isabel - 2015

Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its soil incorporation is increasingly discussed as a means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. When deployed in agricultural...

A low GHG development pathway design framework for agriculture, forestry and land use

Svensson, Johannes; Waisman, Henri; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; … - In: Energy strategy reviews 37 (2021), pp. 1-14

Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) represent 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, the AFOLU sector greenhouse gases must be dramatically reduced and eventually transformed to net negative CO2e within this century. The...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Charges and Credits on Agricultural Land : What Can a Model Tell Us?

Hendy, Joanna; Kerr, Suzi; Baisden, Troy - 2013

Using the simulation model Land Use in Rural New Zealand version 1 - climate (LURNZv1-climate), we simulate the effects of an agricultural land-use emissions charge and a reward for native forest and scrub regeneration. Our results are preliminary and at this stage should be considered...

Greenhouse Gas Emission Factor Module : Land Use in Rural New Zealand - Climate Version 1

Hendy, Joanna; Kerr, Suzi - 2013

Several different New Zealand economic models produce measures of rural economic activity that have greenhouse gas implications. For climate change analysis, models need to translate economic activity into greenhouse gas emissions. This document estimates functions and creates projections for...

Rewards for results? : climate change, deforestation and land use

Speirs, Mike - 2023

Since the mid-2000s, a global effort has been made to tackle deforestation and forest degradation in order to reduce … Bolivia, Ghana and Indonesia, three tropical forest countries. Slow progress has been made, but deforestation continues as a … 'deforestation-free products' is needed. In addition, the way forward requires the rights and responsibilities of stakeholders …
