Securing Tropical Forest Carbon: The Contribution Of Protected Areas To REDD

This paper combines up-to-date, spatially explicit data for the humid tropics on carbon stocks within biomass (Ruesch & Gibbs, Reference Ruesch and Gibbs2008) and soil (Global Soil Data Task Group, 2000), the network of protected areas (UNEP–WCMC & IUCN, 2007), and deforestation from 200...

short_description	This paper combines up-to-date, spatially explicit data to estimate carbon contained within protected areas in the humid tropics, the loss of humid tropical forest within these protected areas and associated total carbon released, and the economic potential of avoid carbon emissions from forest clearance.
