Abstract
The papers comprising this PhD by prior publication were written between 2008 and 2012, during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Because climate change and the ecosystem sector converge most critically in tropical forests there is a focus in this thesis on reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). - Introduction,
