Description:
Overall, the biological opportunity to conserve and sequester carbon in the terrestrial biosphere, especially in forest systems, appears significant. ith careful planning and implementation, management practices useful for this carbon benefit would appear to have potential to provide food, water, wood and other basic human needs. lthough implementation costs seem modest, a primary research objective s to place reliable values on all possible forest benefits. enefit alues would allow a clearer determination of the net costs of sequestering carbon through forest management and agroforestry systems. n a global basis, these benefit values, together with more accurate estimates of land availability, will ultimately lead to a more definitive assessment of promising forest and agroforestry practices for sequestering and conserving carbon.
