      Carbon Markets - Diego Hidalgo Oñate

      Chapter 1: Forests as Carbon Sinks and Climate Change Mitigators

      Forests play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle, serving as significant carbon sinks and critical agents for mitigating climate change. This chapter explores the scientific underpinnings of forests' capacity to sequester carbon and contribute to climate change mitigation strategies.

      Forest Carbon Sequestration Mechanisms: Forests capture and store carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis. Trees absorb atmospheric CO2, converting it into biomass while releasing oxygen. This process, coupled with carbon storage in soils and woody materials, effectively removes carbon from the atmosphere.

      Carbon Sequestration Rates Across Biomes: Different forest biomes exhibit varying rates of carbon sequestration due to factors such as species composition, growth rates, and environmental conditions. For instance, tropical forests sequester 4 to 7 tonnes of CO2 per hectare per year, while temperate forests sequester 2 to 5 tonnes, and boreal forests sequester 1 to 3 tonnes.

      The Role of Reforestation and Afforestation: Reforestation and afforestation initiatives are vital for enhancing carbon sequestration. Reforestation involves restoring forests on previously deforested land, while afforestation entails planting trees in areas that were not historically forested. These efforts contribute to carbon sequestration, habitat restoration, and biodiversity conservation.

      Forest Management Practices: Sustainable forest management practices can optimize carbon sequestration. Thinning, which involves selectively removing trees, can enhance forest health and growth, while minimizing carbon loss through natural mortality.

      Case Study: The Amazon Rainforest: The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the lungs of the Earth, is a critical carbon sink. Its vast biomass stores immense amounts of carbon, but deforestation threatens its capacity to sequester carbon. Efforts to curb deforestation
