Opis

Destruction of environment is taking place at alarming rate in the world. As a consequence, climate change, elevated carbon dioxide, desertification and ozone depletion are visible upshots. Forests are one of our planet's most valuable natural capital that sustains environment, enables economic growth, and they are carbon sinks that mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions which drive global issues like climate change. Nowadays, there is a growing demand for reliable information on forest and tree carbon stock at both national and global levels. Therefore, measuring and estimating carbon stocks; and monitoring the state and changes in carbon stocks in various pools are very important to carbon trading and marketing. In this regard, the author wants to provide the baseline information of the role of forest types in carbon dynamics.
