Northern forests store substantial amounts of carbon in biomass and soils, and
carbon is receiving increased emphasis in forest management. Additionally, climate change intensifies the need not only for a better scientific understanding of the interactive role of carbon in forested ecosystems, but also for management
strategies that increase carbon sequestration and fossil carbon substitution.
This conference will explore the breadth of forest carbon science in the Lake States
and Northeast regions and provide an opportunity for scientists to: share and
discuss research on carbon pools and cycling in temperate and boreal forests;
identify research needs in forest carbon science given natural and human
disturbances and environmental change; and highlight potential effects of
management on carbon dynamics and suggest methods to increase carbon stored
in forests and wood products.
