  • Summary
Discussions about limiting anthropogenic emissions of CO 2 2 often focus on transition to renewable energy sources and on carbon capture and storage (CCS) of CO 2 2 . The potential contributions from forests, forest products and other low-tech strategies are less frequently discussed. Here we develop a new simulation model to assess the global carbon content in forests and apply the model to study active annual carbon harvest 100 years into the future.
