Background: Management strategies have been proposed to minimise the effects of climate
change on forest resilience.
Aims: We investigated the Pacific Northwest US region forest carbon balance under current
practices, and changes that may result from management practices proposed for the region’s
34 million ha of forests to mitigate climate...
Mitigation strategies for reducing CO2 emissions include substitution of fossil fuel with bioenergy from forests, where carbon emitted is expected to be re-captured in the growth of new biomass to achieve zero net emissions, and forest thinning to reduce wildfire emissions. Here we use forest inventory data to show that...
