Land use and land use practices that impact on above and below ground carbon stocks, which include:
|
Alternative land uses and practices compared either as controlled ‘plots’ (study areas defined in the primary studies) with different land-use strategies set up and analysed at the same time, or before-and-after intervention comparisons on the same plots.

Any measured change in:
|
|
- Carbon stocks (including plant carbon and soil carbon)

- Poles (for use in the home)
|
|
- Commercial Timber harvesting
