Forests play a crucial role in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emission targets in the
coming decades, as they can act as natural carbon sinks by removing carbon dioxide from …

Background Carbon (C) sink and stock are among the most important ecosystem services
provided by forests in climate change mitigation policies. In this context, old-growth forests …

Forest‐based mitigation strategies will play a pivotal role in achieving the rapid and deep
net‐emission reductions required to prevent catastrophic climate change. However, large …

A large part of carbon in forest ecosystems is stored in the soil. Large-scale inventories of
soil C stocks in European forests have been published. Nevertheless, detailed site-specific …

Forests can contribute to climate change mitigation by sequestering carbon when
management intensity is reduced. However, there is high uncertainty regarding biomass …

The carbon storage of forest vegetation plays a crucial role in the terrestrial carbon budget.
The objective of this study is to elucidate the current biomass carbon storage and …

Introduction According to various censuses, Europe has less than 1.5 million ha of old-
growth forests (OGF). Most of them are in the boreal zone, while their presence in the …

Carbon accounting in the land sector requires a reference level from which to calculate past
losses of carbon and potential for gains using a stock-based target. Carbon carrying …

Introduction In situ carbon sequestration in forests is important in the context of climate
change mitigation, and setting aside managed forests has been proposed as an option for …

Urbanization in the 21st century has reshaped carbon stock distributions through the
expansion of cities. By using the PLUS and InVEST models, this study predicts land use and …
