Guide de Mesure et de Suivi du Carbone dans le système sol-végétation des formations forestières et agroforestières en Afrique de l’ouest (2013)

This guide provides the different steps involved in measuring carbon stores in the different parts of soil/plant systems of forestry and agro-forestry ecosystems in West Africa. The guide aims to provide methods, tools, techniques and procedures for estimating carbon reserves as well as monitoring change over time for projects. In addition, it provides reference data for monitoring, reporting and verification. We like the guide for its clear, step-by-step instructions and examples. We suggest it for anyone interested in methods for measuring and monitoring carbon.
