Title: Integrated management of carbon sequestration and biomass utilization opportunities in a changing climate
Description: Forests are important for carbon sequestration and how they are manipulated either through natural or human induced disturbances can have an effect on CO₂ emissions and carbon sequestration. The 2009 National Silviculture Workshop presented scientific information and management strategies to meet a variety of objectives while simultaneously addressing carbon sequestration and biomass utilization. The focus areas were: the role of climate change in science and management; silvicultural methods to address carbon sequestration and biomass utilization; alternative silvicultural strategies to address the growth and development of forests; and current applications of computer simulation models or modeling techniques designed to provide decision support.
