Diaz, Susan Charnley, and Hannah GosnellPortland, OR :U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station,[2009]1 online resource (viii, 81 pages) color illustrationsGeneral technical report PNW ;GTR-801Title from title screen (viewed May 19, 2010)."December 2009."Includes bibliographical references (pages 67-76)."There are opportunities for forest owners and ranchers to participate in emerging carbon markets and contribute to climate change mitigation through carbonoriented forest and range management activities. These activities often promote sustainable forestry and ranching and broader conservation goals while having the potential to provide a new income stream for landowners. We describe current carbon market opportunities for landowners, discuss common steps they must typically undergo to take advantage of these opportunities, and address related questions. We also provide a synthesis of the existing scientific literature on how different forest and range management practices are thought to contribute to carbon sequestration, including current debates on this topic. The science regarding forestry and carbon sequestration is more advanced and less controversial than that for range management, and more opportunities exist for forest owners to participate in carbon markets than for ranchers. We describe some of the challenges of including landowners in carbon markets, and issues that will likely need to be addressed to develop relevant policy."General technical report PNW ;801.Engaging western landowners in climate change mitigationForest managementEnvironmental aspectsUnited StatesClimate change mitigationUnited StatesCarbon sequestrationUnited StatesCarbon dioxide mitigationUnited StatesCarbon dioxideEnvironmental aspectsUnited StatesForest managementEnvironmental aspectsClimate change mitigationCarbon sequestrationCarbon dioxide mitigationCarbon dioxideEnvironmental aspectsDiaz David D1422313Charnley Susan1380708Gosnell Hannah1422314Pacific Northwest Research Station (Portland, Or.)GPOGPOBOOK9910696805503321Engaging western landowners in climate change mitigation3546190UNINA
