Understanding and Analysis: The California Air Resources Board Forest Offset ProtocolIntroduction

Understanding and Analysis: The California Air Resources Board Forest Offset Protocol: Introduction [Biogenic carbon sinks, such as forests, perform a vital role in the global carbon cycle by extracting carbon from the atmosphere as they grow and providing for carbon storage over time. Four primary mechanisms through which forests contribute to managing atmospheric carbon are: storing carbon in the biosphere, storing carbon in forest products, displacing fossil fuels with forest-based biofuel, and substituting wood products in place of fossil-fuel-intensive products (see, for example, Schlamadinger and Marland 1996).] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Biogenic carbon sinks, such as forests, perform a vital role in the global carbon cycle by extracting carbon from the atmosphere as they grow and providing for carbon storage over time. Four primary mechanisms through which forests contribute to managing atmospheric carbon are: storing carbon in the biosphere, storing carbon in forest products, displacing fossil fuels with forest-based biofuel, and substituting wood products in place of fossil-fuel-intensive products (see, for example, Schlamadinger and Marland 1996).]
