Carbon Management in Forests: Principles, Policies and Practices (Short Course) The management of forests to store carbon is becoming more and more important, but many questions remain. Are there principles to guide this management? Are there polices that will be fruitful? Which polices may prove counterproductive? How is carbon measured and accounted for? How does carbon management influence other important resources? What is the impact of common management practices on carbon store in forests? A two and half day workshop includes lectures, group discussions, as well as hands on experience in field measurements and analyses of example projects.
