  abstract = {{O}n the eve of the 15th climate negotiations conference in {C}openhagen, the pressure to assess all climate mitigation options is mounting. {I}n this study, a bio-physic model and a socio-economic model were designed and coupled to assess the carbon sequestration potential of agricultural intensification in {S}enegal. {T}he biophysical model is a multiple linear regression, calibrated and tested on a dataset of long-term agricultural trials established in {W}est {A}frica. {T}he socio-economic model integrates both financial and environmental costs related to considered practice changes. {B}oth models are spatially explicit and the resulting spatial patterns were computed and displayed over {S}enegal with a geographic information system. {T}he national potential from large-scale intensification was assessed at 0.65-0.83 {M}t{C}. {W}ith regards to local-scaled intensification as local projects, the most profitable areas were identified in agricultural expansion regions (especially {C}asamance), while the areas that meet the current financial additionality criteria of the {C}lean {D}evelopment {M}echanism were located in the northern part of the {P}eanut {B}asin. {U}sing the current relevant mode of carbon valuation ({C}ertified {E}mission {R}eductions), environmental benefits are small compared to financial benefits. {T}his picture is radically changed if "avoided deforestation", a likely consequence of agricultural intensification, is accounted for as the greenhouse gases sink capacity of projects increases by an average of a hundred-fold over {S}enegal.},
