Description:
This report explores the influence of management practices such as tree harvesting, deforestation, and reforestation on carbon sequestration potential by DOD forests by performing a detailed analysis of a specific installation, Camp Shelby, Mississippi. amp Shelby was selected for analysis because (1) it is a large installation with a prime forestry area, (2) it has been degraded by military training, and (3) its forests are managed by the U.S. Forest Service (FS) so forest-stand data are available for analysis. pecific research goals (1) quantify forest carbon pools and flux at Camp Shelby from 1990 through 2040, (2) evaluate carbon sequestration as influenced by hypothetical management scenarios, and (3) account for on-site and off-site carbon benefits.
