| Abstract: |
Forest carbon development by ‘agroforestation’ is one of the ways by which optimal economic and environmental services can be achieved. This can be accomplished by promoting a purely forest-tree system and/or agroforestry tree system, or the integration of ‘working trees’ in agricultural cultivated landscapes.
The challenge of forest carbon development on denuded ‘forest frontiers’ is the re- egetation of the area purely with indigenous, native/endemic tree species applying the ‘rainforestation strategy, especially in biodiversity hotspots and critical watershed areas. The agroforestry system strategy is most likely the option to be adopted in the ‘forest-agricultural mosaic’ and ‘agricultural lowlands’. |
