Carbon outcomes of major land-cover transitions in SE Asia: great uncertainties and REDD+ policy implications by Ziegler, A.D., Phelps, J., Yuen, J.Q, Webb, E.L, Lawrence, D., Fox, J.M, Bruun, T.B., Leisz, S.J., Ryan, C.M., Dressler, W.H., Mertz, O, Pascual, U., Padoch, Christine, Koh, L.P.

“…More field studies are needed to provide better data of above‐ and below‐ground carbon stocks before informed recommendations or policy decisions can be made regarding which land‐use regimes optimize or increase carbon sequestration. As some transitions may negatively impact other ecosystem services, food security, and local livelihoods, the entire carbon and noncarbon benefit stream should also be taken into account before prescribing transitions with ambiguous carbon benefits.…”
