This new book presents an abundance of important information and
case studies that deal with bamboo farming and its effects from and
on climate change adaptation and mitigation. There is a lack of
research on the role of bamboo in climate change adaptation and
mitigation; this volume helps to fill that gap by providing
information that will enable policymakers to consider bamboo
farming and its implications in carbon trading. Bamboo represents
one of the world's highest yielding renewable natural resources and
is an important source of non-timber forest products for
subsistence use as well as for materials with many commercial and
industrial uses. There are over 1500 documented applications of
bamboo products, including materials for bridges, construction,
furniture, agricultural tools, handicrafts, papers, textiles,
boards, edible, and bioenergy applications. With their fast growth
rate and rapid propagation, bamboo forests have a high C storage
potential, especially when the harvested culms are transformed into
durable products and thereby prolonging the C storage.
Environmentalists love bamboo for its quick growth and for the fact
that it can be harvested without harming the environment. This
volume is a rich resource on the role of bamboo in ecological
farming and climate change mitigation. Key features of the book
include: * Explores the role of bamboo on climate change and
environment and ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change *
Considers overlooked bamboo biomass resources * Explains carbon
capture and storage potential in bamboo * Assesses opportunities
for carbon farming and carbon trading in bamboo * Looks at the role
on bamboo cultivation on the livelihood of rural populations *
Details the soil properties needed for bamboo-based agroforestry
systems
