Carbon Stock in Slash and Burn and Alternative Land Uses at ASB Benchmark Sites in the Humid Tropics
Entry ID:
CGIAR_ASB_CStock
Summary
Abstract:
Carbon stocks were measured in the soils and vegetation in 94 sites in the
three ASB benchmark countries (Brazil, Cameroon, Indonesia) and in an additional 22 sites in Perú. The sites sampled in each country included undisturbed or selectively logged forests as the reference point; areas that had been recently slashed, burned, and cropped; and areas that were subsequently planted to pastures, ...

Quality
The current dataset allows for general comparison of C stocks and time-averaged
C values among general land-use types, but some caution must be taken in using these estimates. There are several steps in which errors may affect the accuracy of the estimates. These include small plot sizes for estimating the biomass of large trees, insufficient ...
