Payment for Ecosystem Services from Forests (2014, background): “Thomas et al. (2010) note that, worldwide, CDM forest projects account for less than 1%of the total of 8,866 CDM projects but could potentially expand in the near future if further cap-and-trade systems are implemented.”
Probability distribution of allometric coefficients and Bayesian estimation of aboveground tree biomass (2012, background): “The financial incentives of current and future carbon markets are high, but cost-effective methodologies are an important incentive for forest managers to participate in these markets (Thomas et al., 2010).”
Avoiding bio‐perversity from carbon sequestration solutions (2012, background): “…climate change (e.g., Strengers et al. 2007; Hamilton et al. 2010), although to date only very few afforestation and reforestation projects commenced under initiatives like the Clean Development Mechanism within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (see Thomas et al. 2010).”
