Carbon Sequestration in Forest Ecosystems

Carbon Sequestration in Forest Ecosystems As concerns over the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increase, mitigation techniques that lower greenhouse gas levels are drawing attention as a potential remedy for climate change. Forest ecosystems play an important role in the global carbon cycle, but nevertheless there are some problems, namely how their important roles and management plans affect the possibility of carbon sequestration in forest areas is there. When judging whether forests are a viable alternative to climate change, it is necessary to consider various factors such as land use history, forest aging and potential feedback process.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol provide a variety of adaptive ecosystem services and recognize the potential role of forests in mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration. These services include biodiversity conservation, slope basin protection, desertification prevention, and maintenance of environmental conservation in vulnerable coastal areas. However, the current rate of deforestation and the rate of deforestation threaten the ability of the world's forests to play these multiple roles.

Carbon storage (storage) mainly occurs in forests and soil through the natural process of photosynthesis. The transfer of carbon to trees and soil is part of the planet's global carbon cycle. Forests and coral reefs have large carbon pools useful for global climate adjustment.

This project provides major ecosystem services and forests are the foundation of natural resources to help strengthen local livelihoods. The most important services are carbon sequestration and watershed protection, and in order to grow more important coffee and other crops, forest erosion prevention, climate control, and supply of wild pollinators are important . This project cooperates with 122 forest edge communities (24,000 people). Following extensive consultation, Gora conducted a series of livelihood activities focused on sustainable agriculture, income generation and improved natural resource management. Gola's model is partly dependent on Farmer Field Schools, registered by thousands of farmers and trained through the Chinese New Year. The demonstration map is the key to prove the direct advantage of the taught method
