This study evaluated the profitability of joint timber-carbon production and estimated the value of carbon sequestration with improved forest management and improved loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) genotypes in the southeast U.S. using the American Carbon Registry’s methodology.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participant will be able to better understand economic and environmental effects of improved forest management and genetics on carbon sequestration in planted pine forests of the southern United States.
Upon completion, participant will be able to able to better understand advances in tree selection.
