Carbon sequestration and biodiversity of re-growing miombo woodlands in Mozambique

 

Background

The study hypothesized that C stocks in vegetation and soils of abandoned agricultural plots (machambas) would be lower than in woodland plots and that C stocks would accumulate more rapidly after abandonment in vegetation than in soils.
