CARE4C

The project CARE4C focuses at researching CO 2 sequestration by forest growth at cell, organ, and forest stand level and at estimating CO 2 emissions from forest operations including all activities from tree felling to material transportation towards a processing facility. By including risk management CARE4C strives to develp carbon smart forest management strategies... Forest ecosystems are important components of the global carbon cylce in at least two ways. First, among terrestrial ecosystems, forests are major sinks contributors that remove nearly 3 billion tons of anthropogenic carbon each year through net growth, absorbing about 30% of all CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel buring and net deforestation. Second, 4 billion hectares of forest ecosystems (about 30% of the global land area) store large reservoirs of carbon, together holding more than double the amount of carbon being in the atmosphere... Analyse, quantify an model the carbon source by forest operations and risks caused..
