Forest Carbon Sequestration: Some Issues for Forest Investments [PDF]

A major problem being faced by human society is that the global temperature is believed to be rising due to human activity that releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, i.e., global warming. The major culprit is thought to be fossil fuel burning, which

Relative importance of biotic, abiotic and stand age factors in influencing ecosystem multifunctionality across forest stand types in South Korea

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
IntroductionIn order to effectively manage ecosystems, it is important to understand how the structure and function of the ecosystem are measured and interpreted, and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) is being used as an important indicator for ...

Branchfall dominates annual carbon flux across lowland Amazonian forests

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
Tropical forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle, but knowledge of interannual variation in the total tropical carbon flux and constituent carbon pools is highly uncertain. One such pool, branchfall, is an ecologically important dynamic
