* Stand density and frequency of interventions are key factors in increasing aboveground carbon stocks in the long term. * Implementing IFM can produce similar or greater total carbon storage than no management. * IFM strategies increase forest resilience compared to no management or delayed harvest alone.
Learning Objectives:
Understand how different strategies for improved forest management can affect the carbon stored in forest carbon compartments over time.
Understand the relationship between carbon sequestration and carbon additionality over time in multiple improved forest management scenarios for eastern forests.
Identify and list carbon co-benefits associated with IFM practices and climate-smart forestry in eastern U.S. forests.
