Description:
There is great uncertainty with regard to the future role of the terrestrial biosphere in the global carbon cycle, arising from both an inadequate understanding of current pools and fluxes as well as the potential effects of rising atmospheric concentrations of CO, on natural ecosystems. espite these limitations, a number of studies have estimated current and future patterns of terrestrial carbon storage. uture estimates focus on the effects of a climate change associated with a doubled atmospheric concentration of CO. Available models for examining the dynamics of terrestrial carbon storage and the potential role of forest management and landuse practices on carbon conservation and sequestration are discussed.
