Carbon Stocks Trends and Projections Compared to 1860
Year:
2009
Author:
Philippe Rekacewicz assisted by Cecile Marin, Agnes Stienne, Guilio Frigieri, Riccardo Pravettoni, Laura Margueritte and Marion Lecoquierre.
Description:
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. According to the
latest projections, changes
in climate will mean that by
2050 the world’s ecosystems,
including all its important
forests, will be releasing more
carbon than they are capable of
absorbing.
