Assessment of the relative importance of nitrogen deposition, climate change and forest management on the sequestration of carbon by forest in Europe

Abstract

This report summarizes results of studies assessing and predicting changes in forest growth and carbon sequestration in forests and forest soils in response to various scenarios with respect to changes in CO2 concentration, climate (precipitation and temperature), atmospheric deposition (N and S deposition) and forest management (forest management scenarios), using empirical and process oriented models, respectivel
