Grantee Description
Host institution: Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia.
Area of research: Forestry and remote sensing (Forest contribution in carbon sequestration and the implication for climate change adaptation in creating climate change resilient ecosystem).
Research focus: The research assesses carbon sequestration in dry Afromontane forests and the effect of land use land cover changes on the amount of carbon stored in the forest ecosystem. Forest density changes over time and the effect of change in climate on the dynamism of the forest. The role of natural exclosures in mitigating climate change compared to the plantation exclosures. Looking in to different methods of assessing carbon for carbon management, alometric equations and remote sensing options for near real time carbon assessme
