*2011-09-18**NRMI: NATURAL RESOURCE MONITORING ITEMS OF INTEREST*

This Issue: */CO_2 Sequestration (Part 2 of 4) /*and Some Other Good Things

*CO_2 SEQUESTRATION (Part 2 of 4)/- /*Last summer I was seeking any 
publications on what various countries are doing in regard to carbon 
sequestration activities involving forests. I was particularly 
interested in those that applied to Costa Rica. Here are some sites that 
may be of interest.

*Authors wanted*-- The Journal of Biodiversity and Ecological Sciences 
(JBES) is a specialized one whose first issue was sent out in winter, 
2011. It publishes its articles using an open access publication 
strategy.All interested readers are able to freely access the journal 
online without the need for a subscription available on: 
http://www.JBES.ir. We would like to invite you to submit your article 
to our journal which provides a forum for the publication of original 
research articles, review articles, case reports, research notes, 
technical reports and other studies related to aspects of Biodiversity 
and Ecology including Plant Biodiversity, Carbon Pool and Carbon Cycle , 
Soil Ecology and Pedodiversity , Soil Seed Bank , Carbon Sequestration , 
Forest Ecology , Succession , Conservation Ecology , Ecological Modeling 
, Soil Biology , Plant Ecology , Landscape Ecology , Geostatistics , 
Ecological Capability Evaluation , and Silviculture.The published paper 
in this journal is free of charge without any page fee. The journal has 
a distinguished international editorial board with extensive academic 
qualifications, ensuring that the journal maintains high scientific 
standards and has a broad international coverage. A current list of the 
journal's editors can be found at: http://www.jbes.ir.Manuscripts should
