Forest Carbon Sequestration and Climate Change Mitigation, 2nd Edition
Topic Information
This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Forest Carbon Sequestration and Climate Change Mitigation”. Forests are the most important carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems and store 80% of terrestrial carbon stocks (forest vegetation) and 40% of belowground carbon stocks (soil, humus, and roots). Thus, slight changes in forest carbon pools could lead to significant impacts on atmospheric CO2 concentration, which in turn would have a significantly positive effect on climate warming. However, proper management and vegetation restoration are thought to be able to store more organic carbon in forests and, thus, to be able to mitigate climate change. This Topic aims to understand the mechanisms behind forest carbon sequestration and control and to clarify their roles in climate change mitigation. We invite submissions of studies on forest carbon cycling and its associated climate change mitigation. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Forest carbon-formation processes and underlying mechanisms;
- Forest quality and sink enhancement technology;
- Forest carbon-sink measurement and monitoring methods;
- Forest carbon-sink and climate-change-mitigation potential predictions;
- Dynamic variation in temporal and spatial characteristics and research methods regarding carbon storage in forest ecosystem;
- Future evolution trends of carbon storage in forest ecosystems.
