Payment for ecosystem services (PES) is a market-based approach to environmental management that compensates land stewards for ecosystem conservation and restoration. Because low-income households and communities control much of the ecologically sensitive land in developing countries, they potentially stand to gain from PES, as environmentally responsible stewardship is assigned a value by various actors in society. To date, however, instances of PES benefiting the poor have been limited mainly to specific localities, small-scale projects, and a handful of broader government programs. We analyze the size, characteristics, and trends of PES to evaluate its future potential to benefit low-income land stewards in developing countries. We estimate that by the...

The Conditions for Functional Mechanisms of Compensation and Reward for Environmental Services

Swallow, Brent M.; University of Alberta; brent.swallow@ualberta.ca; Leimona, Beria; World Agroforestry Centre; L.Beria@cgiar.org; Yatich, Thomas; World Agroforestry Centre; T.Yatich@cgiar.org; Velarde, Sandra J.; World Agroforestry Centre; sjvelarde@gmail.com.

Mechanisms of compensation and reward for environmental services (CRES) are becoming increasingly contemplated as means for managing human–environment interactions. Most of the functional mechanisms in the tropics have been developed within the last 15 years; many developing countries still have had little experience with functional mechanisms. We consider the conditions that foster the origin and implementation of functional mechanisms. Deductive and inductive approaches are combined. Eight hypotheses are derived from theories of institution and policy change. Five case studies, from Latin America, Africa, and Asia, are then reviewed according to a common framework. The results suggest the following to be important conditions for functional CRES...

Enrichment Planting in Secondary Forests: a Promising Clean Development Mechanism to Increase Terrestrial Carbon Sinks

Hawryshyn, Jessica; Department of Biology and McGill School of Environment, McGill University; jessica.hawryshyn@gmail.com; Senikas, Alexandra Vyta; Department of Biology and McGill School of Environment, McGill University; alexandra.senikas@mail.mcgill.ca; Potvin, Catherine; Department of Biology and McGill School of Environment, McGill University; Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute; catherine.potvin@mcgill.ca.

With the increasing need to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations, afforestation and reforestation (A/R) projects are being implemented under the Kyoto Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and under the voluntary carbon (C) market. The specific objective of A/R C projects is to enhance terrestrial sinks. They could also provide low-income communities in developing countries with a source of revenue, as well as a number of ecological and social services. However, feasibility issues have hindered implementation of A/R CDMs. We propose enrichment planting (EP) in old fallow using high-value native timber species as a land-use alternative and a small-scale C projects opportunity. We present EP in the context of ongoing work in a poor indigenous community in...

Food-Carbon Trade-offs between Agriculture and Reforestation Land Uses under Alternate Market-based Policies

Paterson, Stacey; CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences; University of Adelaide; stacey.paterson@student.adelaide.edu.au; Bryan, Brett Anthony; CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences; brett.bryan@csiro.au.

Understanding the effects of payments on the adoption of reforestation in agricultural areas and the associated food-carbon trade-offs is necessary to inform climate change policy. Economic viability of reforestation under payment per hectare and payment per tonne schemes for carbon sequestration was assessed in a region in southern Australia supporting 6.1 Mha of rain-fed agriculture. The results show that under the median scenario, a carbon price of 27 A$/tCO2-e could make one-third of the study area (nearly 2 Mha) more profitable for reforestation than agriculture, and at 58 A$/tCO2-e all of the study area could become more profitable. The results were sensitive to variation in carbon risk factor, establishment costs, and discount rates. Pareto-optimal...

Grasslands.

Ferramenta (kit) para avaliação simplificada de serviços ecossistêmicos em agroecossistemas.

KHALIL, M. I.; CORDOVIL, C. M. D. S.; FRANCAVIGLIA, R.; HENRY, B.; KLUMPP, K.; KONCZ, P.; LLORENTE, M.; MADARI, B. E.; MUÑOZ-ROJAS, M.; RAINER, N..

Grasslands are among the largest ecosystems and cover around 3.5 billion-hectare (ha) area, representing 26 percent of the world land area and 70 percent of the world agricultural area. These grassland soils contain about 20 percent of the world?s soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. There are different types of grasslands: natural grasslands, semi-natural grasslands, and agricultural grasslands. Grasslands that are self-seeded are often defined as natural or native grasslands. These grasslands are predominated by grasses, grass-like plants, forbs, or shrubs suitable for grazing or browsing. They are defined as rangelands when natural (native) or grazed, and defined as pastures when forage is managed by seeding, mowing (i.e. for hay, silage, renewable energy...

Total dissolvable iron (TDFe) was measured in the water column above and in the surrounding of the Kerguelen Plateau (Indian sector of the Southern Ocean) during the KErguelen Ocean Plateau compared Study (KEOPS) cruise. TDFe concentrations ranged from 0.90 to 65.6 nmol L-1 above the plateau and from 0.34 to 2.23 nmol L-1 offshore of the plateau. Station C1 located south of the plateau, near Heard Island, exhibited very high values (329-770 nmol L-1). Apparent particulate iron (Fe-app), calculated as the difference between the TDFe and the dissolved iron measured on board (DFe) represented 95 +/- 5% of the TDFe above the plateau, suggesting that particles and refractory colloids largely dominated the iron pool. This paper presents a budget of DFe and...

Carbon Accumulation in Pinus taeda Estimated by X-rays Densitometry and Trunk Analysis

PFB - Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira

Bellote, Antonio Francisco Jurado; Dedecek, Renato Antonio; Lavoranti, Osmir José; Tomazello Filho, Mario de Castro; Andrade, Guilherme de Castro.

The objective of this work was to evaluate Pinus aeda growth and based on X-ray methods of densitometry and bole analyses to develop mathematical models to estimate carbon amount accumulated on trees of different ages varying on DBH. Five P. taeda plantations were selected on sites of different soils, thinning intensity and growing rate. On each site dominant trees were selected and discs cuts from different heights were collected and submitted to X-ray densitometry for trunk analyses. Mathematical models were developed, to generated equations to compare by testing their statistical identity and equality and to validate by bootstrap methods. The results showed that P. taeda productivity was influenced by soil and silvicultural practices; X-ray...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate total soil carbon and nitrogen, as well as their contents in particulate and mineral-associated C fractions; to determine C stock and sequestration rates in the soil; and to verify the effect of C and N contents on soil aggregation, using different crop rotations and crop sequences under no-tillage. The study was carried out for nine years in a clayey Oxisol. The treatments consisted of different cropping systems formed by the combination of three summer crops (cropped until March) - corn (Zea mays) monocropping, soybean (Glycine max) monocropping, and soybean/corn rotation - and seven second crops (crop successions). Soil samples were taken at the 0.00-0.10-m layer for physical fractionation of C and N,...

Arctostaphylos pungens HBK is a dominant species with increasing abundance and distribution in chaparral ecosystems as a result of range management and, possibly, changes in climate. The value of this species for carbon (C) sequestration is unknown, and the standard 50% C out of total tree biomass is used as an approximate value. In this study, we aim to determine the C concentration of the primary components of A. pungens. The total C expressed as a percentage of biomass was determined with a Solids TOC Analyzer. We found the C concentration to vary among components. Leaves exhibited the highest C concentration (51.70%). Roots (46.11%), stems (47.30%), fruits (47.89%) and twigs (48.40%) had similar C concentration. These results provided superior...

Influencia de politicas ambientales en la captura de carbono por parte de las masas forestales

Assessing the Impact of Cap-and-Trade Climate Legislation on Agriculture in the Northern Plains: A Policy Simulation with Farmer Preference and Adaption

Balteiro, Luis Díaz.

RESUMEN: Desde que recientemente se ha reparado en los ecosistemas forestales como posibles sumideros del CO2 atmosférico, se ha propuesto el establecimiento de masas forestales como medida para reducir las concentraciones de este gas. Esto llevaría a que las plantaciones forestales presentaran objetivos adicionales de carácter ambiental. Bajo la óptica de un propietario privado o un posible inversor en esta clase de activos forestales, estas circunstancias sitúan al centro decisor ante un problema de producción conjunta, diferente al que existía hasta hace poco tiempo. Por otro lado, desde un punto de vista social interesará que la captura de carbono sea máxima. Se han estudiado dos posibles casos de forestaciones, y los resultados muestran que el...

Agricultural Land Tenure and Carbon Offsets examines the potential role that land ownership might play in determining the agricultural sector’s involvement in carbon sequestration programs. By estimating the carbon sequestration potential of agricultural producers who own most of the land they operate, this report finds that land ownership should not be a constraining factor in agriculture’s ability to provide carbon offsets.

The Designation of Co-benefits and Its Implication for Policy: Water Quality versus Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Soils

Secchi, Silvia; Jha, Manoj K.; Kurkalova, Lyubov A.; Feng, Hongli; Gassman, Philip W.; Kling, Catherine L..

This study investigates the implications of treating different environmental benefits as the primary target of policy design. We focus on two scenarios, estimating for both of them in-stream sediment, nutrient loadings, and carbon sequestration. In the first, we assess the impact of a program designed to improve water quality in Iowa on carbon sequestration, and in the second, we calculate the water quality impact of a program aimed at maximizing carbon sequestration. In both cases, the policy instrument is the retirement of land from agricultural production. Our results, limited to the state of Iowa, and to the case of set-aside for water quality or carbon sequestration purposes, indicate that the amount of co-benefits depends on what indicators are used...
