 (for example, cutting down forests) and one without. The former is based on regional estimates in Houghton (2003). Difficulties with determining rates of deforestation and the magnitude of carbon stocks held by the remaining forests and with distributing regional carbon fluxes among individual countries mean that the land-use change components have a large margin of error, perhaps as large as +/-150% in some cases. They are included here because, although difficult to quantify accurately at a country level, land-use change is a significant contributor to global warming
