Figure 4.8: Relative importance
of each of the 10 forest management alternatives in the total potential sequestration
as given in Figure 4.7. These data give an indication
of opportunities and do not necessarily represent national plans. For example,
silvicultural practices in Japan generally do not accompany fertilization and
the figure for Japan is probably an overestimate. Nevertheless it shows that opportunities
vary among countries because of both the national situation, the mix of current
forestry practices, and/or the historic management. One common recommendation
of which measures would yield the largest carbon sequestration can therefore not
be given (adapted from Nabuurs et al., 2000).
