Dataset of Forest Area and Carbon Stocks in Southeast Asia 2000-2030

This dataset contains areas of natural and plantation forests, carbon stocks, carbon emissions, emission reductions, and removals in Southeast Asia between 2000 and 2030. It is available in excel format suitable educational, capacity building, and training purposes. Natural forests contain production forest and protection forest, while plantation forests contain fast-growing and slow-growing plantation forests. Data of carbon stocks, timber production, carbon loss or gains, emission reductions, and carbon revenues are available year by year from 2000 and 2030. Data on annual timber production, carbon stocks and carbon removals affected by two clear-cut systems in plantation forests are useful for understanding the roles of management of plantation forests for timber and carbon purposes. Carbon emission reductions due to the implementation of the REDD+ activities could be used to analyse the effects of REDD+ activities on carbon emission reductions and removals in natural and plantation forests in Southeast Asia. Value of the Data • The REDD+ scheme of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change requires that carbon emissions, emission reductions or removals from deforestation and forest degradation, through conservation of forests, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks be monitored, measured, reported, and verified. These data are important for these purposes for policy makers as well as scientific communities and college students. • Students, researchers, policy makers, NGOs, media outlets will find these data useful in many ways depending on their interests. • These data might be used for understanding the current carbon stocks in the standing forests in Southeast Asia, carbon emissions due to deforestation and logging, potential carbon emission reductions when the REDD+ activities are implemented, and to test the effects of different carbon prices on carbon revenues from reducing deforestation and forest degradation, and from planting the new trees on a regional scale.
