Managing Forest Carbon in a Changing Climate [Paperback]

The aim of this book is to provide an accessible overview for advanced students, resource professionals such as land managers, and policy makers to acquaint themselves with the established science, management practices and policies that facilitate sequestration and allow for the storage of carbon in forests. The book has value to the reader to better understand: a) carbon science and management of forests and wood products; b) the underlying social mechanisms of deforestation; and c) the policy options in order to formulate a cohesive strategy for implementing forest carbon projects and ultimately reducing emissions from forest land use.This book offers a thorough, state-of-the-art examination of the science of carbon sequestration in forests, the management of forests for carbon and other values and the socio-economic and policy implications and challenges of managing forests for carbon.
