Loading ...large amounts of carbon are released in a short time when there are large areas of the forested landscape being burned. However, if this is a subject that interests you, it is also helpful to be aware of the detailed carbon budget accounting system that exists for Canada’s forest biomass. Forests subject to large disturbances, like those in western Canada where large areas can be burned in a short time, can be carbon sinks when they are in the rapid growth stage, but carbon sources when there are large disturbances from fire or large insect outbreaks. The link below does not change the message you posted at 10:44. The main point, instead, is that rates of carbon release from forests involve some well developed accounting criteria. Cheers. Equiz.
