ROSA-M ROMAN-CUESTA is an academic who published a paper in 2017 entitled Scenarios in tropical forest degradation: carbon stock trajectories for REDD+. ROSA-M ROMAN-CUESTA published this work as part of a team: De Andrade, Rafael B. Here is a description of this work: Bac,,ground: Human-caused disturbance to tropical rainforestsâ€"such as logging and fireâ€"causes substantial losses of carbon stocks. This is a critical issue to be addressed in the context of policy discussions to implement REDD. This work reviews current scientific knowledge about the temporal dynamics of degradation-induced carbon emissions to describe common patterns of emissions from logging and fire across tropical forest regions. Using best available information, we: (i) develop short-term emissions factors (per area) for logging and fire degradation scenarios in tropical forests, and (ii) describe the temporal pattern of degradation emissions and recovery trajectory post logging and fire disturbance. Results Average emissions from aboveground biomass were 19. 9 MgC/ha for logging and 46. 0 MgC/ha for fire disturbance, with an averag.
