Energy Policies for Carbon Dioxide Emission Reduction

Variability in the emission of carbon-based trace gases from wildfire in the Alaskan boreal forest

[1] A study was carried out to assess the variability in trace gas emission from several factors and to estimate the immediate impact of fire on carbon exchange. Using geospatial data, a model of emission was developed for three carbon-based gases, CO2, CO, and CH4, released during fires from 1950 through 1999 in the boreal region of Alaska. The effect of two factors in the model were investiga...

Has China’s Natural Forest Protection Program Protected Forests?—Heilongjiang’s Experience

Since the late 1990s, China has been implementing one of the largest ecological restoration initiatives in not only the country but also the world—the Natural Forest Protection Program (NFPP). An overarching question is how severe the regional deforestation had become before the NFPP was initiated and whether the forest condition in the protected area has significantly improved afterwards. The ...
