Abstract: | This paper introduces an integrated assessment (IA) approach for a Canada-China joint research project that linked forest carbon sequestration, forest resource management, and local sustainability enhancement. The purpose of the IA was to improve the measurement of carbon in different land uses and vegetation covers, as well as to direct decision makers to those land uses or options as an CO2 emission reduction strategy while supporting rural sustainable development. In this connection, three questions are addressed in this paper:- 1)
- How will forestry carbon sequestration land use policies affect regional sustainability prospects in rural China?
