A climate change mitigation mechanism for emissions reduction from reduced deforestation and forest degradation, plus forest conservation, sustainable management of forest, and enhancement of carbon stocks (REDD +), has received an international political support in the climate change negotiations. The mechanism will require, among others, an unprecedented technical capacity for monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon emissions from the forest sector. A functional monitoring, reporting and verification requires inventories of forest area, carbon stock and changes, both for the construction of forest reference emissions level and compiling the report on the actual emissions, which are essentially lacking in developing countries, particularly in Africa. The purpose of this essay is to contribute to a better understanding of the state and prospects of forest monitoring and reporting in the context of REDD+ in Africa. We argue that monitoring and reporting capacities in Africa fall short of the stringent requirements of the methodological guidance for monitoring, reporting and verification for REDD+, and this may weaken the prospects for successfully implementing REDD+ in the continent. We presented the challenges and prospects in the national forest inventory, remote sensing and reporting infrastructures. A North–South, South–South collaboration as well as governments own investments in monitoring, reporting and verification system could help Africa leapfrog in monitoring and reporting. These could be delivered through negotiations for the transfer of technology,technical capacities, and experiences that exist among developed countries that traditionally compile forest carbon reports in the context of the Kyoto protocol.

Microsatellite markers are one of the most valuable genetic marker because of high polymorphism, codominant, high reproducibility and relatively high abundance in the genome. Classical techniques to identify and to develop microsatellite markers are time-consuming and require cloning and library construction followed by Sanger sequencing. In the recent years Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) have been widely used to identify molecular markers for non-model organisms. To test the efficiency of NGS techniques in developing molecular markers, we have used double digest Restriction site Associated DNA Sequencing (ddRADseq) to identify microsatellites in Heracleum. Genomic DNA from three individuals digested with SbfI and NdeI followed by size selection and library construction and then DNA fragments were sequenced with Ion Torrent PGM. After trimming adaptors and evaluating the quality of reads, QDD software was used to screen reads with microsatellite motives containing two, three, four, five and six nucleotide repeats. Almost 2% of all sequences were consisted microsatellites repeats. Fifty four singleton and consensus sequences were bioanformatically confirmed and were checked for contamination and similarity with NCBI nucleotide database. Seventy percent of the sequences were represented by (AT)n, (AT)n, (GA)n and (AC)n motives. Twenty five primer pairs were selected to test for amplification and the results showed that most of the loci produced the expected size on Agarose gel. Our results show the high efficiency of ddRADseq in developing sufficient number of markers in a short time where the budget is also limited. Keywords: Microsatellites, Next Generation Sequencing, ddRADseq, Heracleum
