We assess here the potential initial C sink available from A R of marginal pasture lands by New Zealand s most common shrubland species manuka Leptospermum scoparium and kãnuka Kunzea ericoides . Plotbased mensuration shows that mean net C accumulation rates for mãnuka kãnuka shrubland are in the range to t C ha-1 yr-1 when averaged over the active growth phase of about 40 years. Estimates of the change in mineral soil C with shrubland A R of grassland suggest small losses occur although these appear to be largely offset by accumulation of C in the litter layers. Analysis shows that nationally there are about Mha of marginal pastoral land suitable for A R by indigenous shrubland or forest. This area could accumulate about Mt C yr-1 a significant offset to New Zealand s annual energy-related CO2 emissions of Mt CO2-C yr-1. An initial economic analysis of livestock farming for a region with large areas of land marginal for sustained pastoral agriculture suggests carbon farming may prove an attractive alternative land use if international prices for biomass-C reach about 10 per tonne CO2. afforestation reforestation Kyoto protocol carbon sink shrubland Résumé - Boisement reboisement des pâturages marginaux de Nouvelle-Zelande par des .
