First signs of carbon sink saturation in European forest biomass
Nabuurs, G.
First signs of carbon sink saturation in European forest biomass - London (United Kingdom) : Nature Publishing Group, 2013.
Peer review
European forests are seen as a clear example of vegetation rebound in the Northern Hemisphere; recovering in area and growing stock since the 1950s, after centuries of stock decline and deforestation. These regrowing forests have shown to be a persistent carbon sink, projected to continue for decades, however, there are early signs of saturation. Forest policies and management strategies need revision if we want to sustain the sink.
