The circumboreal forest encompasses diverse landscape structures, dynamics and
forest age distributions determined by their physical setting, and historical
and current disturbance regimes. However, due to intensifying forest
utilisation, and in certain areas due to increasing natural disturbances, boreal
forest age-class structures have changed rapidly, so that the proportion of old
forest has su... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract Background The accuracy in estimating forest ecosystem carbon storage
has drawn extensive attention of researchers in the field of global climate
change. However, incomparable data sources and various estimation methods have
led to significant differences in the estimation of forest carbon storage at
large scales. Methods In this study, we reviewed fundamental types of forest
carbon stora... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background Forests are an important component of the global carbon (C)
cycle and can be net sources or sinks of CO2, thus mitigating or exacerbating
the effects of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. While forest productivity
is often inferred from national-scale yield tables or from satellite products,
forest C emissions resulting from dead organic matter decay are usually
simulated,... hiện toàn bộ
