Breakdown of Carbon Storage by Region
Year:
2009
Author:
Philippe Rekacewicz assisted by Cecile Marin, Agnes Stienne, Guilio Frigieri, Riccardo Pravettoni, Laura Margueritte and Marion Lecoquierre.
Description:
Forests absorb carbon through
photosynthesis and sequester
it as biomass, thus creating
a natural storage of carbon. Carbon stocks in forest areas comprise
carbon in living and dead organic
matter both above and below ground
including trees, the understorey, dead
wood, litter and soil.
