这是1988年启动的一个多方面项目的第一份报告，该项目旨在补充撒哈拉以南非洲可用作燃料的木质生物量的不足数据。木材燃料是大多数家庭的主要燃料来源，也是烟草烘烤、茶叶烘干、熏鱼、啤酒酿造、制砖和商业烘焙等小型工业的重要能源来源。由于人们认识到木材燃料的短缺，开发和保护木质生物量变得越来越重要。然而，由于缺乏足够的数据，许多国家难以将这种发展和保护计划纳入其总体能源战略。该研究首次尝试分析次大陆木本生物量的存量和可持续产量。卫星图像、实地数据和其他来源被用来制作43类土地覆盖的明确地图和详细描述。该报告包括100多个表格和数字以及四张全彩折叠式土地覆盖图。
This is the first report of a multifaceted project launched in 1988 to supplement the inadequate data on the amount of woody biomass available for use as fuel in Sub-Saharan Africa. Woodfuels are the primary source of fuel for most households, as well as an important source of energy for small industries such as tobacco curing, tea drying, fish smoking, beer brewing, brickmaking, and commercial baking. Development and conservation of woody biomass has become increasingly important because of perceived shortages of woodfuels. Lack of adequate data has made it difficult, however, for many countries to include such development and conservation plans in their overall energy strategies. The study represents a first attempt to analyze the stock and sustainable yield of woody biomass in the subcontinent. Satellite images, field data, and other sources are used to create definitive maps and detailed descriptions of 43 classes of land cover. The report includes over a hundred tables and figures and four full-color foldout land cover maps.
