Using Silviculture to Influence Carbon Sequestration in Southern Appalachian Spruce-Fir Forests

Using Silviculture to Influence Carbon Sequestration in Southern Appalachian Spruce-Fir Forests

Enhancement of forest growth through silvicultural modification of stand density is one strategy for increasing carbon (C) sequestration. Using the Fire and Fuels Extension of the Forest Vegetation Simulator, the effects of even-aged, uneven-aged and no-action management scenarios on C sequestration...
