NotesThe 2 World Congress of Agroforestry 2009; “Agroforestry - The Future of Global Land Use”
Abstract:
 Expansion of plantations replacing natural forest has received criticism from the environmental community because of the CO emissions generated. 2
 Secondary forest, shrubland and Imperata grassland are available for plantation expansion and using these lands poses less environmental damage.
 Time-averaged C stocks of such plantations in comparison to the primary or secondary forests and shrub that they replaced were analyzed under upland and peatland conditions.
 Method and information on carbon budget associated to land use transitions to agriculture is important in designing the sector's contribution in green house gas (GHG) emission reduction strategies.
