Carbon Stocks Potential and Economic Value Valuation of Carbon Stocks in Ebony Stands

Ecosystem carbon stocks in Pinus palustris forests

Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) restoration in the southeastern United States offers opportunities for carbon (C) sequestration. Ecosystem C stocks are not well understood in longleaf pine forests, which are typically of low density and maintained by prescribed fire. The objectives of this research were to develop allometric equations for aboveand below-ground biomass and quantify ecosyst...

Predators help protect carbon stocks in blue carbon ecosystems

NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE | VOL 5 | DECEMBER 2015 | www.nature.com/natureclimatechange Climate change is an urgent societal issue that can be addressed by a combination of reduced emissions and climate mitigation strategies, including those based on natural carbon (C) stores (that is, biosequestration). The need to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations combined with global interest in C trading and...

Carbon stocks across a chronosequence of thinned and unmanaged red pine (Pinus resinosa) stands.

Forests function as a major global C sink, and forest management strategies that maximize C stocks offer one possible means of mitigating the impacts of increasing anthropogenic CO2 emissions. We studied the effects of thinning, a common management technique in many forest types, on age-related trends in C stocks using a chronosequence of thinned and unmanaged red pine (Pinus resinosa) stands r...
