Upcoming Webinar
Friday November 21 noon PST/3pm EST: Carbon Management in the Wet Forests of the Pacific Northwest by Dominick DellaSala, President & Chief Scientist, Geos Institute, an FFCCmember organization.

High biomass forests with substantial carbon stores are concentrated in only a few locations of the nation, mostly the western US. Notably, wet coastal forests from the redwoods to Alaska are among the most carbon dense on the planet and because they are on long fire return intervals (for the most part) are a stable carbon store. This webinar provides some basics on forest carbon stores in wet forests, why these forests are important as a relatively stable sink for carbon, how logging can switch them from a net sink to a net source of CO2 emissions, and how optimizing carbon stores in these forests provides for a multi-functionality approach to forest management by also maintaining other ecosystem services and biodiversity, especially important in a changing climate.
