- Abstract:
- Estimates of forest carbon storage on abandoned agricultural land in the northeastern U.S. are important because they may represent a major carbon sink that is slowing CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere and associated climate warming. In this research we will measure net carbon exchange in a second, relatively young (55-year old) red oak-red maple dominated deciduous forest on a dry upper hill slope in central MA. Physical environment and carbon exchange processes within the forest ecosystem will be measured.
