  1. Carbon and forest management Robert Matthews Forest Research Biometrics, Surveys and Statistics Division Alice Holt Research Station, Farnham

  2. The problem • Human activity is interfering with the global carbon balance • This is leading to climate change • The major causes are: • Burning fossil fuels • Deforestation.

  3. 3.0 GtC y -1 6.3 GtC y -1 1.6 GtC y -1 1.7 GtC y -1 Burning fossil fuels Ocean absorption Land-use change (including deforestation) ‘Enhanced’ vegetation growth Global carbon balance c. 1990-2000 Net accumulation: 3.2 GtC y -1

  4. Offsetting CO2 emissions by planting trees Permanence Saturation It works Additionality

  5. Model-based evaluation - C-flow Atmospheric CO2 Photosynthesis (NPP) (from volume growth curve & expansion factors) Stem thinning Woody biomass Non-woody biomass Wood products Product decay and harvesting Natural mortality Thinnings Harvest debris Woody litter Non-woody litter Non-woody litter decay Woody litter decay Transfer of residues to soil Soil organic matter Soil decomposition

  6. Model-based evaluation - CARBINE

  7. Model-based evaluation - C-flow

  8. Wood products in use Wood products in landfill Tree roots Non-forest trees Forest tree stems and branches Forest soils Roughly 100 MtC UK forest carbon stocks

  9. Forests, harvested wood and carbon

  10. Model-based evaluation - CARBINE

  11. Model-based evaluation - CARBINE

  12. Model-based evaluation - CARBINE (graphs on different scales to show details) ‘Carbon reserve’ Thin and fell ‘Continuous cover’ ‘Energy forestry’

  13. Model-based evaluation - CARBINE (graphs on same scales to permit comparison) ‘Carbon reserve’ Thin and fell ‘Continuous cover’ ‘Energy forestry’

  14. Forest carbon management options

  15. 20% 6% Forest carbon management potential +Forest sector management Forest carbon sequestration 2% 5% UK 0.15 GtC y-1) 20% with imports? 45% >100% World (25 GtC y-1) World (3.2 GtC y-1)

  16. Conclusions (global) • Globally, forests play an important part in the carbon balance. • Forests are also a renewable resource. • Options for mitigating climate change are: • Afforestation • Reforestation • Adjustments to forest management • Avoided deforestation • Targeted timber utilistation.

  17. Conclusions (UK) • UK forests can make a small but useful contribution. • Carbon sequestration can be ‘hostage to fortune’. • Emissions saved through (home grown or imported) wood are ‘banked’. • Focus on use of wood at least as much as forest management. • Role for imported wood?
