EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE PROFITABILITY ...

Nina Becker's research provides a thorough analysis of the economics of carbon sequestration
from an interdisciplinary perspective on the impacts of climate change on forest resources. The
analysis is based on an integrated assessment that links a climate-yield model with a
profitability analysis. In specific  Nina Becker investigates tree productivity under global
and regional climate change scenarios. Furthermore  she demonstrates the potential effects of
increasing tree productivity on the profitability of carbon credit sales. For this purpose  she
conducted a case study on teak (Tectona grandis L.f) plantations on the Pacific Coast of Costa
Rica. Nina Becker points out the potential of and future challenges for forest plantations in
mitigating climate change. The book is aimed at scholars as well as NGOs and policymakers with
an interest in forests and climate change.
