Post-Thinning and Post-Fertilization Growth and Carbon Sequestration: Literature Reviews and Data Sourcing

Croissance et séquestration du carbone après l’éclaircie et la fertilisation : revues de la littérature et extraction des données

Description

To support the development of post-thinning and post-fertilization growth curve multipliers and disturbance matrices, the following objectives will be pursued: • Identify Canadian studies that have assessed the impacts of forest thinning and fertilization treatments relevant to growth response, GHG emissions and carbon sequestration. • Conduct a literature review of Canadian studies that have assessed the impacts of various forest thinning treatments on the growth response of trees in the residual stand. • Conduct a literature review of Canadian studies that have assessed the impacts of various forest fertilization treatments on the growth response of trees in the residual stand, on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and on carbon sequestration in biomass and soils. • Collate the key publications, data, and data documentation (i.e., data dictionaries, metadata) associated with the studies included in the literature reviews.

Quick Summary

Natural Resources Canada is seeking expertise to review and compile Canadian studies on the effects of forest thinning and fertilization on tree growth, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon sequestration. The work involves conducting literature reviews and gathering relevant data and documentation to support the development of growth curve multipliers and disturbance matrices.
