Background Global climate is being affected by human activities
that result from the emission of certain greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere
Forests are relevant to climate change issues due to its function as a reservoir of carbon
Loss of forests is a significant contributing factor in climate change
On the other hand, the possibility of expanding carbon storage in forests has been identified as a potential measure to mitigate climate change
