Managing forests for climate change
... Forests can be net sinks or net sources of carbon, depending on their age, health and susceptibility to wildfires and other disturbances, as well as on how they are managed. Forest management interventions that result in carbon emission reductions or increased carbon sequestration could potentially b ...
