Eric Maugendre about carbonWood harvesting and forest management are depleting carbon storage. Old-growth forests in Sweden store ~72% more carbon than the industrial tree plantations that are rapidly replacing them, with soil accounting for most of the difference.
The top meter of soils in lowland primary forests contained roughly 64% of total C on average.
