NIACS Conference 2008

Scientists are invited to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations of projects related to the study or management of carbon in northern forests. < more >

Northern forests store substantial amounts of carbon in biomass and soils, and carbon is receiving increased emphasis in forest management. Additionally, climate change intensifies the need not only for a better scientific understanding of the interactive role of carbon in forested ecosystems, but also for management strategies that increase carbon sequestration and fossil carbon substitution. This conference will explore the breadth of forest carbon science in the Lake States and Northeast regions and provide an opportunity for scientists to:

share and discuss research on carbon pools and cycling in temperate and boreal forests;
identify research needs in forest carbon science given natural and human disturbances and environmental change; and
highlight potential effects of management on carbon dynamics and suggest methods to increase carbon stored in forests and wood products.
