Ecosystem Marketplace: José Maria Arara, Almir Surui, and Aureliano Córdoba all have three things in common: each is the leader of a traditional forest community of the Amazon; each lives in a country that nominally recognizes their rights to their forests; and each has used carbon finance to exercise and reinforce their rights. And they're hardly alone, according to a new study called "Securing Rights, Combating Climate Change", which was published jointly by the World Resources Institute (RRI) and Rights and Resources...

BIO Welcomes USDA Report on Farm and Forest GHG Measurement
2014-07-31 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
USDA's report titled "Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Fluxes in Agriculture and Forestry: Methods for Entity-Scale Inventory" outlines science-based methods for quantifying changes in carbon emissions and storage at the local farm and forest operation and can help farmers and forest landowners participate in emerging carbon markets. Methodology sets transparent standard for measuring one important indicator of sustainability – greenhouse gas emissions – in biomass production.

Cranking Up the Carbon: Researchers Expose a Forest to Our Future's Conditions
2014-07-29 00:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new facility is launching that will expose natural woodland to raised carbon dioxide levels, simulating conditions expected in the near future. This research is expected to give conversationalists and policy makers a look at future troubles the world's forest will face. The University of Birmingham has reportedly secured initial funding to support ten years of a free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiment at its brand new Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR). According to...

Trees Save Lives and $7 Billion in Health Costs Annually, Forest Service Finds
2014-07-28 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment 360: Trees are saving more than 850 human lives each year and preventing 670,000 cases of acute respiratory symptoms in the U.S., according to the first broad-scale estimate of trees' air pollution removal by U.S. Forest Service researchers. Looking at four common air pollutants -- nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 microns -- researchers valued the human health benefits of the reduced air pollution at nearly $7 billion annually in a study published...
