520 _aCommunity forests have been expanding in Thailand but their management is hampered by the lack of financial supp01i, especially from the carbon-based financial incentives. The main objective of this study is to evaluate carbon-based financial incentives in community forest management with particular focus on Ban Nong Mek Pattana community forest. To achieve this main objective, three specific objectives are proposed, namely 1) to estimate carbon stocks, 2) to estimate emission reduction potential, and 3) to discuss policy implication for carbon-based financial supports for managing small-scale community forests. Data from 22 quadrat sample plots of 20m x 20m size collected from the above community were analyzed according to tree species, carbon stocks of individual trees and that of community forest. To estimate carbon emission reductions and related financial incentives, two forest management scenarios were proposed after organizing a consultative workshop with the local community. Carbon emission reductions and financial incentives are estimated for a 30-year period. Totally, 83 tree species were found and the average carbon stocks is to 87 ± 11 MgC/ha. For the whole community, total carbon stocks are 35,410 MgC, equivalent to 129,835 MgC02. If forest fires are well managed, this community forest has potential to reduce emission about 3,350 MgC02 over a 30-year period, resulting in carbon-based revenues of about $11,054 in 2046 at carbon price of $3.3/tC02. As the costs of management is only $4,896, management of this community is profitable even though carbon price is low. To receive the REDD+ financial incentives, setting up policy actions and performance at local level to implement the REDD+ projects and development of monitoring, reporting, and verification are needed.
