English Abstract In the Kyoto Protocol all Annex I countries have agreed
to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by a certain percentage compared to
1990 level in 2008-2012., Several direct human-induced activities initiated
in the Land-use Change and Forestry sector since 1990, may be used to
achieve that target. However, the wording in the Protocol has caused
confusion on exactly is meant in the Protocol,which activities may be
included, whether soils should be included and whether any additional
measures may be included in the future. Also, the way of monitoring,
verification and reporting is unclear. In this NRP project the implications
of a choice for a certain definition, additional compartments of the C
cycle, and feasibility of monitoring are assessed for a limited number of
countries, by applying these definitions and additional measures to the
countries' C budget based on the latest data. The forest-related matters
are handled by the Institute for Forestry and Nature Research (IBN-DLO), the
soil related matters are handled by the Research Institute for Agrobiology
and Soil fertility (AB-DLO), and the monitoring and verification matters by
the Winand Staring Centre for Integrated Land, Soil and Water Research
(SC-DLO).
