| contents | <p>Large scale reforestation in the tropics has the potential <br>to sequester large amounts of carbon and help to mitigate the <br>buildup of atmospheric carbon dioxide. However unless the <br>causes of deforestation are addressed, reforestation efforts <br>will be in vain. The link between deforestation and <br>reforestation operates within the domain of human intervention <br>on the landscape, and includes the patterns of land resource use <br>and access. This paper considers the role that land and tree <br>tenure (resource use and access) of agroforestry can have in <br>reducing both the rate of conversion of forest to agriculture--<br>the largest biotic emission of carbon--and forest degradation; <br>thereby allowing both natural forests as well as reforestation <br>to participate in carbon uptake.
