Governments and scientists have hitherto underestimated the importance of land use for mitigating climate change, according to an article out today in the journal Nature . The authors suggest a new method for assessing the capacity of land (soil and vegetation) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, depending on how it is used (forest, pasture, crops, livestock production, etc). The method also measures the indirect impacts os land use changes. It is dubbed the "carbon benefits index", and can be applied on a territory as well as a plot scale*.

Agroforestry systems are known to store more carbon than agricultural plots cultivated in a conventional way. However, to date, agroforestry has not been taken into account effectively in the carbon accounting system established by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Researchers from CIRAD and the FAO recently conducted a literature review that enabled them to establish coefficients for carbon storage in the soil and aboveground and belowground biomass of different agroforestry systems. The new data will be taken into account in the improved 2006 IPCC National GHG Inventory Guidelines. This work is published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
