DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
1) Land cover (preferably in time series);
(including Reserves and protected areas, Potential vegetation)
2) Climate data (monthly precipitation, monthly max and min air temperatures);
3) Initial soil organic matter content;
4) Soil texture (% sand, % clay,% silt)
5) Drainage/water holding capacity;
GIS Data for Carbon Simulation
1) Crop yield or net primary productivity;
2) Land use (fertilization, cultivation, tree or crop species; Rotation probability; Harvesting practices, Fertilization; Irrigation; Grazing; Organic matter addition, Land fire; Cultivation....); times of inputs and occurrences
1) C:N ratios of plant tissues and SOC pools;
2) Soil erosion and deposition.
GIS or Tabular Data for Carbon Simulation
Objectives
1. Adapt GEMS (general ensemble biogeochemical modeling system) for Africa
2. Quantify carbon dynamics in the Department of Velingara from 1900 to 2100
3. Assess the impacts of land use and climate change on carbon dynamics
4. Discuss carbon management options

Data were collected around six villages in five land cover classes.Unit: MgC ha-1
SOC contents in the top 0 – 20 cm layer were estimated from those in the 0 – 40 cm layer according to Jobbagy and Jackson (2000).
Spatially-Explicit Biogeochemical Modeling
The General Ensemble biogeochemical Modeling System (GEMS) is developed to simulate carbon dynamics over large areas. It consists of
Encapsulated ecosystem biogeochemical model(s).

Grain Yield
1. It was assumed that agricultural will not expand in 21st century2. High Climate Change Scenario (HCCS) poses a great threat to food
security
Net Primary Productivity
1. NPP varies between 3 and 4 MgC/ha/y.2. Large inter-annual variability caused by precipitation fluctuation.3. NPP decreases under HCCS (i.e., large climate change)

Carbon in Live Biomass
1. C stock in undisturbed dry and moist tropical forest is 88 and 135 MgC/ha, respectively
2. C stock has decreased by 46% from 1900 to 2000 in Velingara3. Woodfuel production has a larger impact than climate change

Soil Organic Carbon
1. SOC stock in undisturbed dry and moist tropical forest is 29 and 35 MgC/ha, respectively
2. SOC stock has decreased by 9% from 1900 to 2000 in Velingara3. The max difference caused by management and climate change
options is about 5 MgC/ha in 2100
Total C Stock in Vegetation and Soil
1. Total C stock has decreased 37% from 1900 to 20002. Live biomass reduction accounts for 88% of the total C loss3. Selective logging has a significant impact4. Large climate change (HCCS) reduces C stock
