This paper "A review of carbon sequestration dynamics in the Himalayan region as a function of land-use change and forest/soil degradation with special reference to Nepal" published on Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment 2005, 105(3) reviews the literature on land-use changes, forest/soil degradation and their effects on C sequestration in Himalayan region.

On the basis of review of past studies, there appeared to be a high potential for enhancing the C sequestration in the vegetation and soils of the Himalayan region through improved management of degraded lands. It is suggested that the complexity of dynamics of C sequestration caused by diverse bio-physical and socio-economic factors in the region needs ideally be analysed by following systems approach in the future research endeavours.

This article "Use of models to analyse land-use changes, forest/soil degradation and carbon sequestration with special reference to Himalayan region: A review and analysis" in Forest Policy and Economics  reviews and synthesises the available models relating to landuse changes,  forest/soil degradation and C sequestration in developing countries in general and the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region in particular.

Based on the review and synthesis of different techniques, a conceptual modelling framework is presented. This consists of a dynamic bio-economic modelling framework capable of capturing both socio-economic behaviour and bio-physical processes combined with geographical information systems/remote sensing techniques. Such modelling efforts have the potential of assisting policy makers and planners to identify and implement sustainable agriculture and forestry practices, leading to mitigation of CO2 emissions in developing countries in general and the HKH region in particular.
