New publication on the impact of management on soil carbon sequestration
A new study, developed in the framework of the HoliSols project, was recently published on Forest Ecology and Management.
The publication synthesises information on forest management practices that can mitigate climate change by increasing soil carbon stocks and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The study also identifies soil processes that affect soil greenhouse gas balance and discusses how models represent forest management effects on soil in greenhouse gas inventories and scenario analyses to address forest climate change mitigation potential.
