Canada's managed boreal forest, 54% of the nation's total boreal forest area, stores 28 Pg
carbon (C) in biomass, dead organic matter, and soil pools. The net C balance is dominated …

The amount and dynamics of forest dead wood (both standing and downed) has been
quantified by a variety of approaches throughout the forest science and ecology literature …

The importance of forests for sequestering carbon has created widespread interest among
land managers for identifying actions that maintain or enhance carbon storage in forests …

The topics assessed in this chapter were last assessed by the IPCC in 2007, principally in
WGII AR4 Chapters 3 (Kundzewicz et al., 2007) and 4 (Fischlin et al., 2007), but also in WGII …

Develo** management strategies for addressing global climate change has become an
increasingly important issue influencing forest management around the globe. Currently …

Life-cycle analyses, energy analyses, and a range of utilization efficiencies were developed
to determine the carbon dioxide (CO2) and fossil fuel (FF) saved by various solid wood …

Forest soils represent a substantial portion of the terrestrial carbon (C) pool, and changes to
soil C cycling are globally significant not only for C sequestration but also for sustaining …

Trees alter their use and allocation of nutrients in response to drought, and changes in soil
