Mapping carbon from ABoVE
Rapid warming in Arctic and boreal regions may transform forests and tundra from carbon sinks into carbon sources. Two University of Utah-led studies improve biomass mapping to assess whether northern ecosystems will mitigate or accelerate climate change

Arctic and boreal ecosystems store enormous amounts CO2 but climate-driven disturbances—wildfires, drought and thawing permafrost—are rapidly transforming the landscape. Two studies address a major challenge; accurately mapping and measuring the region’s biomass. One paper reveals significant inconsistencies among widely used satellite-based biomass datasets and the other introduces a map that tracks 40 years of ecological change in unprecedented detail.
Long-term effects of clear-cutting forestry on ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forest

Most of Europe’s original natural #forests have been transformed for agriculture and managed forests producing energy, paper and timber.
The few remaining “old-growth” natural forests are relics of the past that illustrate how forests would have looked in the absence of human management.
Most Swedish forests are so-called #boreal forests.
This type of coniferous woodland #ecosystem encompasses most of the northern regions of the planet.
After mapping and measuring the most natural old-growth forests in Sweden, scientists found that they differ much more from managed forests than previously thought, even if some of those managed forests looked old.
Old-growth forests store 78-89% more #carbon than managed forests do, a difference in carbon storage larger than Sweden’s cumulative emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels since 1834.
These new results underscores the much larger carbon storage benefits that flow from protecting forests than using them to produce bioenergy and wood products.

Global demand for wood products is increasing, as are calls for protecting tropical #forests from #deforestation.
In #boreal regions, where much of the #forest has not been previously logged, demand has led to clear-cutting of old, primary forest.
In a new paper, scientists assess the potential impacts of clearing primary boreal forests by comparing the carbon storage of primary and secondary (previously logged) forests in Sweden.
Including vegetation, dead wood, wood products, and soils, primary forests store over 70% more carbon than secondary forests, a difference several times greater than previous estimates.
These results reveal previously underappreciated value in protecting primary boreal forests.
