Potential of agroforestry and plantation systems in Indonesia for carbon stocks: an economic perspective
Kirsfianti Ginoga, Yuliana Cahya Wulan, and Mega Lugina
This paper investigates the carbon sequestration potential of
several alternative agroforestry and plantation systems in Indonesia. It is
shown how different agroforestry systems vary in their attractiveness in terms
of carbon sequestration, returns to land and labour and employment potential.
A twenty-year life cycle of coffee multi-cropping systems is compared to short-rotation
timber plantations and to a forty-year life cycle of fruit trees such as mango,
duku and durian.
