Transcript of Carbon Benefits Kds V3 07
Land Health Surveillance•Identify where land problems exist
•Quantify major risks to land health
•Target agroforestry interventions
•Evaluate the outcomes of interventions
Field Measurement
Designed to provide;
biophysical baselines at landscape level (vegetation, soil condition)
a monitoring and evaluation framework
the Land Degradation
Surveillance Framework
Field Measurement
Sentinel Site Surveillance Framework
a spatially stratified,
hierarchical, randomized
sampling framework
Sentinel site (100 km2)
16 Clusters (1 km2)
10 Plots (1000 m2)
4 Sub-Plots (100 m2)
LDSF sampling plot (1000 m2) with sub-plots (100 m2)
•Fast•Repeatable•Functional, interpretable•Applicable everywhere•Widely tested•With local communities

Allometrics
•Biovolume to biomass to C• Trees, shrubs, Species• Belowground woody biomass
• Tapering coefficients; fractal branching
•Infrared spectroscopy for wood moisture and densityImproved wood density databasesProtocols for local calibrations
Small chambers will be used to measure the fluxes of N2O, CO2 and CH4 to generate default factors for N2O and to estimate the soil respiration flux under different land uses
Trace Gas Measurements
Infrared Spectroscopy for rapid soil characterization
• Rapid
• Reproducible
• Low cost
• Predicts soil carbon & functional soil properties

A Globally Integrated African Soil Information Service
A globally integrated, evidence-based, and dynamic soil health information service that provides management, planning and policy-relevant soil information for the non-desert portions of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Key Elements of Measurement
Ground measurements provide calibration and detailed sample frame analysis
Remote sensing takes the ground samples to extrapolate spatially to the landscape
Remote sensing characterizes spatial heterogeneity and land use
Spectral analysis provides rapid soil carbon measurement
GIS provides the data base framework for organizing spatial data
Carbon and nitrogen models provide ex ante calculations and detailed accounting
Web-enabled geospatial information systems to provide local and global access

Carbon BenefitsModeling, Measurement and
Monitoring
Application of the Tools from Component B
Forest
Slashed
Burning
Agriculture, grass
Agriculture, bare soil
The tools can be used to measure changes in carbon associated with land
use change
Link space mapping and ground measurements to carbon accounting models
and databases
Models provide systematic accounting for carbon
The tools could be applied for meeting the needs of marketing C from rural development

The tools can be used to assess ecosystem degradation in a quantitative way in landscapes and target
interventions
Forest degradation
Erosion
Soil fertility
High grazing pressure
Best Practices Support on
Where to plant – trees suitable for your area
Which to plant – sources of tree seeds
How to plant – good tree nursery practices
What to plant – trees suitable for your purposes
How to engage communities and scale up

The tools will help develop an assessment of the full GHG balance of different
management systems

Eventually expand measurement and monitoring to other types of projects - e.g.
REDD, SFM
