Forest Management Options for Carbon Sequestration: A Western U.S. Perspective

Presents a western U.S. perspective on forest management for carbon sequestration, and the above and below- ground carbon consequences of different management strategies.


Forest Management Options for Carbon Sequestration: Considerations in the Eastern U.S.

The Eastern U.S. forest perspective on carbon sequestration and examples of forest carbon management projects.


An Introduction to Forest Carbon Management

Forest management options for reducing carbon emissions and enhancing carbon sequestration in forests.


Disturbance Effects on Forest Carbon Dynamics

See how climate change and increased disturbances from fire, insects and other sources will affect the forest carbon cycle. Carbon losses can be fully recovered, if the forest regenerates after the disturbance and if given enough time.


Grasslands and Carbon: Processes and Trends

Grasslands, which make up 30% of the U.S. land surface, store significant amounts of carbon belowground in roots and soils. Learn how disturbances such as drought, grazing, fire and tillage can significantly impact the grassland carbon balance.


Ecosystem Carbon Fluxes and Storage

Learn about gross primary production, photosynthesis, respiration and senescence, and the effect of elevated atmospheric CO2 and ozone on forest stand productivity.


Forests and Carbon: Trends and Data for the U.S.

Get the scoop on forestland carbon storage in the United States, which helps offset approximately 12% of US carbon emissions from fossil fuels.


The Global Carbon Cycle

Introduction to how carbon is distributed globally in soils, vegetation, the atmosphere and the ocean, and how carbon moves between these pools.


Preparing for Climate Change: an overview

What is adaptive planning and what are guiding principles for adaptation and planning under uncertainty?


Planning for Climate Change in Pacific Northwest Forests

A broad overview of emerging forest management issues related to expected climate changes for the Pacific Northwest.
