This study seeks to understand how forests can contribute to a Minnesota statewide goal of increasing carbon sequestration. Objectives include (1) establish carbon baselines for Minnesota’s diverse forests and (2) develop carbon cradle-to-grave life cycle assessments that incorporate different forest management strategies and harvested wood products.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe questions surrounding carbon storage, emissions, and sequestration and their relationship with forest management strategies in Minnesota and likely similar states.
Upon completion, participant will be able to define methods and possible solutions to the questions surrounding carbon stocks and fluxes and their relationship with forest management, including the potential implications for forest policy.
