Managing forests for climate change mitigation.
Forests currently absorb billions of tons of CO2 globally every year, an economic subsidy worth hundreds of billions of dollars if an equivalent sink had to be created in other ways. Concerns about the permanency of forest carbon stocks, difficulties in quantifying stock changes, and the threat of environmental and socioeconomic impacts of large-scale reforestation programs have limited the upt...
متن کاملRevaluing unmanaged forests for climate change mitigation
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Unmanaged or old-growth forests are of paramount importance for carbon sequestration and thus for the mitigation of climate change among further implications, e.g. biodiversity aspects. Still, the importance of those forests for climate change mitigation compared to managed forests is under controversial debate. We evaluate the adequacy of referring to CO2 flux measurem...
متن کاملSoil carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change
The increase in atmospheric concentration of CO2 by 31% since 1750 from fossil fuel combustion and land use change necessitates identification of strategies for mitigating the threat of the attendant global warming. Since the industrial revolution, global emissions of carbon (C) are estimated at 270F 30 Pg (Pg = petagram= 10 g = 1 billion ton) due to fossil fuel combustion and 136F 55 Pg due to...
متن کاملUncertainty of the Role of Carbon Capture and Sequestration within Climate Change Mitigation Strategies
The optimal strategy and the implied costs of a stringent climate protection objective are uncertain and potentially large. The uncertainties arise from the growth and flexibility of energy demand and of low carbon energy supply. Carbon capture and sequestration is an option to reduce the economic costs of ambitious climate protection strategies, when energy demand and supply turns out to be in...
متن کاملClimate Change, Carbon Sequestration, and Wildfire Management in Sierran Mixed Conifer Forests
2 I. Abstract We measured the impacts of prescribed fire and small clear-cut tree harvesting on carbon dynamics in a mixed-conifer forest in the central Sierra Nevada. Soil CO 2 efflux, above ground tree biomass, annual tree radial growth, and ecosystem carbon stored as litter, fine root and in the mineral soil were measured in four treatment sites: an un-manipulated control, a prescribed fire ...
