    Author : Mads Carlsen; [2023]
    Keywords : CO2 flux; Clear-cutting; Coniferous forest; Flux footprint; Sustainable forestry; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As CO2 builds up in the atmosphere causing global climate change (IPCC, 2022) trees have become an international symbol of combatting this, and for good reason. Trees take up CO2 which as a result combats these changes, and when these trees are cut down fewer individuals remain to take up the CO2 that we humans emit (Chapin et al., 2011). READ MORE

  6. 5. Emission Trading Systems and Forestry: Understanding the Case of New Zealand and Applications for Sweden through the EU ETS
