We examine land-use outcomes of perhaps the largest government-planned rural reforestation program in the history of humankind, China's "Grain for Green" (GFG) policy from 1999 to 2006. Specifically, we simulate household responses to the GFG policy in Western China's Shaanxi Province, a ...
This book provides a comprehensive review of Grain for Green, China's nationwide program which pays farmers to revert sloping or marginal farm land to trees or grass. The program aims to improve the ecological conditions of much of China, and the socioeconomic circumstances of hundreds of million...
China’s Grain for Green Program (GGP), started in 1999 and completed in 2010, was a large-scale ecological restoration program with all-embracing purposes ranging from ameliorating regional climate to improving environmental conditions such as by reducing soil erosion (State Forestry Administration (...
Here, we estimated the impact of China's Grain for Green Program (GFGP) on carbon storage and carbon sink capacity over the past 20 years. We then projected the carbon potential of the GFGP under expansion and management scenarios for 2030 and 2060. Our results showed that the GFGP ...
China's Grain for Green Program (GGP) is likely the largest centrally organized land-use change program in human history and yet its carbon sequestration benefit has yet to be systematically assessed. Here we used seven empirical/statistical equations of forest biomass carbon sequestration and five ...
