Title: Carbon sequestration and forest management at DOD installations: An exploratory study

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:63811

The report explores the influence of management practices such as tree harvesting, deforestation, and reforestation on carbon sequestration potential by DOD forests by performing a detailed analysis of a specific installation, Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Specific research goals (1) quantify forest carbon pools and flux at Camp Shelby from 1990 through 2040, (2) evaluate carbon sequestration as influenced by hypothetical management scenarios, and (3) account for on-site and off-site carbon benefits.
