Forest Management for Timber Production and Climate Change Mitigation: Linking Dynamics of Carbon Cycle in Ecosystem Management

This book introduces the complex world of carbon dynamics within forest ecosystems, particularly in boreal zones, while also incorporating findings from selected temperate areas. It explores how these dynamics are influenced by management strategies and operations, providing a comprehensive understanding of how forests can be managed to enhance carbon uptake and thus, mitigate climate change.

Divided into five parts, the volume begins by addressing the characteristics of global and boreal f...
