Forest carbon balances at the landscape scale investigated with the Q model and the CoupModel - Responses to intensified harvests

Eliasson, Peter; Svensson, Magnus; Olsson, Mats; Ågren, Göran

Abstract

The carbon gain after introducing removal of logging residues starts to increase immediately at the first harvest in a landscape. The quantities of soil carbon lost with the increased removals are always less than the removals in biomass. Soil carbon losses show a declining response over time. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
