“…As with any bad, consumer (tourist) gains disutility from consuming it (non-green tourism). The literature observes the tendency of consumers to prefer environmental conservation and sustainable tourism—that is, going green (see e.g., Băndoi et al, 2020; Bojanic and Warnick, 2020; Mohammadi and Rasekhi, 2015; Tan et al, 2017). Consumers reveal their preference for ecolabels—for example, Björk (2004), Kozak and Nield (2004), inter alia—despite the latter’s varying levels of effectiveness.…”

“…As a result, countries tend to maintain high environmental standards, which in turn could help promote destination countries' international tourism competitiveness. The following review of related literature suggests that it is becoming common for the tourism industry and consumers to go green , and conserving the environment can lead to sustainable tourism development (Băndoi et al, 2020; Bojanic and Warnick, 2020; Mohammadi and Rasekhi, 2015; Tan et al, 2017).…”

This study examines whether international tourism flows are affected by differences in the environmental performance of origin and destination countries by conducting an empirical analysis with a gravity panel dataset of 169 origin countries and 157 destination countries from 2000 to 2015. Estimated results show that the difference between environmental performance of a country pair adversely affects international tourism flows. This implies that tourist behavior is particularly influenced by familiarity, behavior conformity, and the need for virtue-signaling. Results also suggest that better environmental performance of the destination relative to the origin, as captured by an overall environmental performance index or its sub-indices, lowers international tourism more than vice-versa. This effect potentially hinges on the tradeoff between functionality and the image of the international tourist destination. Policies that create an enabling milieu for sustainable tourism and environmental practices—such as ecolabeling and targeted advertising—would help attract more environmentally conscious tourists.

“…The carbon sequestration of 12.68 mg/ha/year above-ground part was sunk by the Melocanna baccifera in the Mizoram forest (Venkateswara, 2009). The carbon sequestration of 71.19 t/ha/year above-ground part was stored by the Schizostachyum lumampao in Cuyambay forest, Tanay forest, Rizal forest and Philippines forest (Zohreh et al, 2017). The carbon sequestration of 9.89 mg/ha/year above-ground part was trapped by the Phyllostachys maikinoi in the Taiwan forest (Dar-Hsiung and Tsai-Huei, 2015).…”

Objectives: The promising specific growth regulators are employed tissue culture of the bamboo species. The specific natural hardening mixture supports the acclimatization and adaptation of the protected cultivation. The bamboo species contribute to the carbon sequestration and stabilization of the environment. Findings: The growth regulator 2, 4-D encourages callus induction and growth regulators NAA + TDZ, BAP + Kinetin + Gelrite, BAP + Kinetin + Coconut water + myo-inositol, NAA and TDZ impose plant regeneration in the Bambusa species. The growth regulator of 2,4-D, 2,4-D + Kinetin, 2,4-D + BA, 2,4-D + BAP and 2,4-D + NAA + BAP produces callus induction in the Dendrocalamus species. The growth regulator of TDZ, BA and IBA + Coumarin + Putrescine, BAP + GA3, NAA + Kinetin, BA + IBA, BA + Kinetin + NAA, NAA + Kinetin, Kinetin + IAA has facilitated shoot regeneration in the Dendrocalamus species with the specific period. The growth regulator of BA and TDZ; BAP + TDZ, IBA + Coumarin + Putrescine, BAP + GA3, NAA + Kinetin, BA + IBA, BA + Kinetin + NAA, NAA + Kinetin, Kinetin + IAA develops root regeneration with unambiguous time in the Dendrocalamus species. The growth regulator of BAP and Kinetin + BAP imposes shoot regeneration and IBA and IBA + Coumarin + sucrose conducts root regeneration in the edible bamboo. The natural hardening materials of cocopeat, vermicompost, perlite, cow dung, FYM, compost, soil & garden soil and humus soil, perlite, and FYM recommend in the acclimatization and adaptation of the Bambusa species and Dendrocalamus species respectively. Novelty: The standard growth regulators and hardening mixtures impose tissue culture, acclimatization and adaptation in the bamboo species. The bamboo species involves in managing carbon sequestration, biogeochemical cycle and the environment.

“…The net flux includes both aboveground and belowground biomass. Several methods are available to estimate the quantity of carbon stored in forests, such as extrapolation from experimental plots or modelling from inventory data (Zapfack et al, 2016;Hong et al, 2017;Zohreh et al, 2017;Ascioti et al, 2018;Matthew et al, 2018;Thuy et al, 2020;Suyadi et al, 2020). Forest inventory data can be used to estimate the above and below ground biomass of regional areas (Deng et al, 2011).…”

“…Forest ecosystems are becoming more essential in the fight against climate change by absorbing the atmospheric CO 2 and storing it in tree biomass, which is called carbon sequestration (Ismariah & Fadli, 2007;Guo et al, 2008;Keith et al, 2019;Hussainzad & Yusof, 2020;Naime et al, 2020;Suyadi et al, 2020). Up to 80% of all aboveground carbon and 40% of all belowground carbon (soils, litter, and roots) is stored in the world's forests (Dixon et al, 1994;Zohreh et al, 2017). Carbon sequestration is one of the most essential forest ecosystem services, as stated by global climate change estimates (Murray 2000;Huang et al, 2019;Kulshreshtha et al, 2020).…”

A meta-analysis of the economic value of forest carbon stock

Global climate change has become a critical issue due to the global greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions dominated by carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Forest ecosystems are becoming increasingly essential in mitigating climate change by absorbing the atmospheric CO 2 and storing it in tree biomass, a process known as carbon sequestration. Decades of environmental valuation research show that forest carbon has a positive economic impact. Economic valuation of forest carbon provides mechanism for climate change mitigation policy instruments, compare rival forestry and environmental initiatives, and infuse public willingness to pay in forest conservation projects. It is also required for carbon trading, conservation, and management of the forests. However, carbon storage estimates in forest ecosystems throughout the world differ substantially. Thus, this study conducts a global meta-analysis to estimate the marginal economic value of forest carbon per hectare. A systematic review of scientific literature leads to the selection of 60 primary studies from 30 different countries published between 1990 to 2021. The meta-analysis identified wide variations in economic values of forest carbon across the globe. The outcome of the meta-analysis reveals that global economic value of forest carbon is USD2005 per hectare. This study provides an insight on the marginal economic value of global forest carbon which would be helpful to understand the necessity of avoiding deforestation and conserving more forested areas that ultimately helps to mitigate global climate change through emission reduction.
