De Manderheide in Noordoost-Twente is onderdeel van het Natura 2000-gebied Springendal – Dal van de Mosbeek. Dit rapport presenteert een plan voor het herstel van de Manderheide in het kader van het Programma Aanpak Stikstof, met name gericht op habitattype Droge heiden (H4030) in de context van een goed functionerend heidelandschap. Als uitgangspu...
Herbebossen in een droog, zonovergoten en zout klimaat, kan dat wel? Ja, zolang je maar slim samenwerkt met de natuur. De vernietigende werking van loslopend vee op de inheemse plantengemeenschappen van droge tropische eilanden is vaak aangetoond. Het goede nieuws is dat met de juiste maatregelen de inheemse flora en fauna een behoorlijke veerkrach...
The main objectives presented in the report are: 1) To examine data gaps in the field of ecologically valuable grasslands and land at risk of abandonment by gathering existing data and making recommendations on how the gaps might best be filled to underpin the present and future policy process in these fields 2) To gather existing data and providin...
This report collects all background information that is used for the 2011 submission under the Kyoto Protocol (KP) for the Netherlands. It includes the full text of the National Inventory Report (NIR)-II for LULUCF, as well as a description of the table-bytable methodologies, choices and motivations. In 2009 afforestation and reforestation activiti...
Keywords: Carbon uptake, Forest biomass, Bioenergy, Land use change, Indian forests, Deforestation, Afforestation, Rotation length, Trees outside forests. Global climate change is a widespread and growing concern that has led to extensive international discussions and negotiations. Responses to this concern have focused on reducing emissions of gre...
Jaarlijks neemt het totale areaal tropisch bos af, maar in sommige tropische landen (Costa Rica, India, Vietnam) neemt het bosareaal juist toe. Dit duidt erop dat tropische ontbossing gestopt kan worden en geen automatisch gevolg is van bevolkingsgroei en toenemende bosgebruik. Het begrip bossentransitie verwijst naar de omslag van ontbossing naar ...
Developing countries are extremely vulnerable to climate change, due to their strong economic dependency on rain-fed agriculture. Land-use policies can offer a less vulnerable future by design and application of relevant mitigation and/or adaptation strategies. Effectiveness of such strategies depends on local conditions. Therefore, hotspot regions...
Keywords:climate change, carbon costs, afforestation, risk, secondary forests, conservation payments, ecosystem servicesThis thesis is a collection of articles that deal with the economics of carbon sequestration in forests. It pays special attention to the comparison of forestry alternatives for carbon sequestration, carbon supply curves at region...
This report describes the findings of a feasibility study to treat oil contaminated water using reed beds, and consume the treated saline water using forestry. The feasibility study focused on the social, technical and economical feasibility of a project designed to process 45,000 m3 of water per day. Possible effects of a large scale operation on ...
This report describes the conceptual approach of the CO2FIX V 3.1 model, as well as its implementation and numerous examples. This stand level simulation model is a tool which quantifies the C stocks and fluxes in the forest biomass, the soil organic matter and the wood products chain. Included are also a bioenergy module, a financial module and a ...
