A peer-reviewed paper submitted by Mr. John O. Niles, on behalf of the Tropical Forest Group,
addresses the issues of monitoring and estimating tropical forest carbon stocks. The paper has
tabular information with multiple estimates of total forest carbon stocks for many developing
countries. The IPCC guidelines (Tier 1) are used for one of the models, but the authors also use
other models.
