The forest Carbon Certification Project in Iceland : a case study
This study is a part of a bigger project aimed to develop a certification system for carbon stock changes due to afforestation in Iceland. This is interesting because carbon credits created by removals of CO2 from the atmosphere then can be marketed when markets for such products open. This study fo...
