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." 410 0$aGeneral technical report PNW ;$v801. 517 $aEngaging western landowners in climate change mitigation 606 $aForest management$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 606 $aClimate change mitigation$zUnited States 606 $aCarbon sequestration$zUnited States 606 $aCarbon dioxide mitigation$zUnited States 606 $aCarbon dioxide$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aForest management$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aClimate change mitigation 615 0$aCarbon sequestration 615 0$aCarbon dioxide mitigation 615 0$aCarbon dioxide$xEnvironmental aspects 700 $aDiaz$b David D$01422313 701 $aCharnley$b Susan$01380708 701 $aGosnell$b Hannah$01422314 712 02$aPacific Northwest Research Station (Portland, Or.) 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910696805503321 996 $aEngaging western landowners in climate change mitigation$93546190 997 $aUNINA
