The purpose of FMPI is to assess forest resources and to supply information requirements for forest management planning, spatial and functional patterns, and overall design of forestry at the FMU level (Lei et al. 2009a).
CBM-CFS3 was designed to meet reporting requirements for forest management, provide policy support, and a function as a C budgeting tool for operating foresters, thus functioning at a range of spatial scales, and estimating records of C stocks, transfers between pools, and emissions (Kurz et al. 2002; Kurz et al. 2009).
In Son La province, PES has come with new requirements for forest inventory procedures in the central and provincial government, which are costly and time-consuming, and for which there is limited budget and capacity.
In addition, the standard Afforestation Scheme, which is focused on commercial plantings, contains a 10% requirement for broadleaf forest.
This interest is partly attributed to the requirement for certified forest growers to continually strive to reduce dependence on the use of herbicides for weed control.
By reference to landscape ecology, conservation biology, forest ecology, and ecosystem-based management, this paper sets out requirements for a forest management regime that maintains forest capital intact and for determining a rate of cut that would likely maintain ecosystem structure and function.
There are several basic requirements for a forest offset.
The EO data requirements for monitoring forest degradation will vary depending on the type of degradation or proxy, and will be greater the more activities are to be monitored under the REDD+ spectrum.
Understanding to what extent such changes to natural wildlife populations may affect forest dynamics with regard to seed dispersal and seedling survival is an important requirement for the management of tropical forests.
Accurate mapping of aboveground forest carbon stocks (AFCS) using spaceborne satellite data is still very challenging due to the requirement of a large amount of in situ data for forest carbon estimation model calibration and validation.
