Rehabilitation of degraded forest land through implementation of carbon-sink projects can increase terrestrial carbon (C)
stock. However, carbon emissions outside the project boundary, which is commonly referred to as leakage, may reduce or negate
the sequestration benefits. This study assessed leakage from carbon-sink projects that could potentially be implemented in
the study area comprised of 11 sub-districts in the Batanghari District, Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. The study estimates
the probability of a given land use/cover being converted into other uses/cover, by applying a logit model. The predictor
variables were: proximity to the center of the land use area, distance to transportation channel (road or river), area of
agricultural land, unemployment (number of job seekers), job opportunities, population density and income. Leakage was estimated
by analyzing with and without carbon-sink projects scenarios. Most of the predictors were estimated as being significant in
their contribution to land use cover change. The results of the analysis show that leakage in the study area can be large
enough to more than offset the project’s carbon sequestration benefits during the period 2002–2012. However, leakage results
are very sensitive to changes of carbon density of the land uses in the study area. By reducing C-density of lowland and hill
forest by about 10% for the baseline scenario, the leakage becomes positive. Further data collection and refinement is therefore
required. Nevertheless, this study has demonstrated that regional analysis is a useful approach to assess leakage. 相似文献

Climate change is a fundamental aspect of the Anthropocene. Climate assessments are frequently undertaken to evaluate climate change impacts, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity. Assessments are complex endeavors with numerous challenges. Five aspects of a climate assessment that can be particularly challenging are highlighted: choice of assessment strategy, incorporation of spatial linkages and interactions, the constraints of climate observations, interpretation of a climate projection ensemble, uncertainty associated with weather/climate dependency models, and consideration of landscape–climate influences. In addition, a climate assessment strategy that incorporates both traditional “top-down” and “bottom-up” methods is proposed for assessments of adaptation options at the local/regional scale. Uncertainties associated with climate observations and projections and with weather/climate dependency (i.e., response) models are incorporated into the assessment through the “top-down” component, and stakeholder knowledge and experience are included through the “bottom-up” component. Considerable further research is required to improve assessment strategies and the usefulness and usability of assessment findings. In particular, new methods are needed which better incorporate spatial linkages and interactions, yet maintain the fine grain detail needed for decision making at the local and regional scales. Also, new methods are needed which go beyond sensitivity analyses of the relative contribution of land use and land cover changes on local/regional climate to more explicitly consider landscape–climate interactions in the context of uncertain future climates. Assessment teams must clearly communicate the choices made when designing an assessment and recognize the implications of these choices on the interpretation and application of the assessment findings. 相似文献
