People and forests in Canada: fitting carbon into a perplexing future

  • Conference paper
Forest Ecosystems, Forest Management and the Global Carbon Cycle

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASII,volume 40))

Abstract

This is a strong statement, and no doubt there are many who believe it to be true. Indeed, there are likely many who want to see carbon (C) take a meaningful place within the substance of management objectives for Canadian forests. However, Pollard himself expresses some doubt in his conclusion:
