Verification of the Model Sample Clauses

Verification of the Model. Business As Usual The model considers both biophysical and socio-economical factors causing changes in c- stocks in a REDD+ target landscape under business as usual (BAU) and REDD+ scheme. Business as usual (BAU) is a condition when the current situation continues. Under the BAU institution, carbon providers transformed the landscape through logging, mining and other land use conversions. Here, the carbon provider is defined as the actor who has direct responsibility for carbon-stock changes within the REDD+ target landscapes, either under BAU or REDD+ institutions. It includes local communities (farmers and loggers), forest concessionaires, plantation companies, and mining companies. REDD+ target landscapes are stratified based on general patterns of forested landscapes as described by Xxxxxxx (2007), i.e. forest core, forest margin and mosaic of annual crop lands. Outside the REDD+ target landscape, government, NGOs, carbon buyers and brokers are considered to have significant roles to play in changing carbon stocks under REDD+. In a BAU scenario, if a REDD+ credit area and carbon stock are identified but because there is no carbon market and then no- carbon deal, the forest area may well decrease, while agriculture, oil palm and mining increase. Coffee, cacao and rubber plantations are dynamics that tend to remain the same. The forest decreases because it is converted to other land uses such as oil palm, agriculture and mining. Those conversions are triggered by economic logic i.e. greater economic rent. The landscape pattern after the simulation is given in Figure 8. Figure 9 shows how the landscape changed over 30 years.
