PhysOrg: As global forest and climate experts gather at the Oslo REDD Exchange 2013 to ramp up international efforts to protect carbon-storing forests in the developing world, a recent study by researchers at the Nairobi-based World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and European and Southeast Asian institutions finds that local communities-using simple tools like ropes and sticks-can produce forest carbon data on par with results by professional foresters using high-tech devices. At the same time, the study...
