Title Using Silviculture to Influence Carbon Sequestration in Southern Appalachian Spruce-Fir Forests
Creator Van Miegroet, Helga Moore, Patrick T DeRose, R. Justin Long, James N
Description Enhancement of forest growth through silvicultural modification of stand density is one strategy for increasing carbon (C) sequestration. Using the Fire and Fuels Extension of the Forest Vegetation Simulator, the effects of even-aged, uneven-aged and no-action management scenarios on C sequestration in a southern Appalachian red spruce-Fraser fir forest were modeled. We explicitly considered C stored in standing forest stocks and the fate of forest products derived from harvesting. Over a...
