| Abstract: | Background Reducing carbon Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) is of central importance to combat climate change. Foremost
among the challenges is quantifying nation's carbon emissions from deforestation and degradation, which requires information
on forest carbon storage. Here we estimated carbon storage in India's forest biomass for the years 2003, 2005 and 2007 and
the net flux caused by deforestation and degradation, between two assessment periods i.e., Assessment Period first (ASP I),
2003-2005 and Assessment Period second (ASP II), 2005-2007. |
