This book delves into the fundamental processes of carbon dynamics within forest ecosystems and highlights their vital contribution to carbon sequestration and the implications for mitigating climate change. Authored by renowned forestry scientists, this book provides detailed information on the processes, factors, and causes influencing carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems. The book offers in-depth analysis of forest ecosystems and the anthropogenic impacts on forest carbon dynamics. In addition, this book provides invaluable insights into the science, policy, and practices shaping our understanding of forest-based carbon sequestration. Drawing upon the most up-to-date references, it summarizes current understanding while identifying knowledge gaps for future research. As such, this is an essential resource for scientists, forest managers, students, policymakers and anyone passionate about sustaining our planet to safeguard our future.
