CARE4C
Carbon smart forestry under climate change
Background and Objectives of CARE4C
The
project CARE4C focuses at researching CO2
sequestration by forest growth at cell, organ, and forest stand level
and at estimating CO2 emissions from forest operations
including all activities from tree felling to material transportation
towards a processing facility. By including risk management CARE4C strives to
develp carbon smart forest management strategies.
Objectives of CARE4C
- Analyse, quantify and model the carbon sink resulting from forest growth
- Analyse, quantify an model the carbon source by forest operations and risks caused by biotic and abiotic factors
- Combine the sink and source aspects to an integrated picture and balance of the whole
- Publish and teach our results and new concept of a carbon smart forestry to enhance knowledge and sikkls at individual and organizational level
- Disseminate achievements and communicate the project to forest science, forest practice, general public and policy makers at local, regional, national and EU level to foster a lower-carbon emitting society
