This video describes research into the amount of carbon that has been captured by reforestation in the US. These forests were previous destroyed by cultivation from humans or by natural disturbance like forest fires. The research found that 10-20% of all forest carbon in the US is held in the soils of these reforested areas.

This web page provides 10 recommendations for landowners on how they should manage their ash trees during Emerald Ash Borer and climate change. This includes physiological and silvicultural information on how to promote the survival of ash trees, in addition to why ash trees are important to save.

This EPA report describes how seasonal events in the US are impacted by climate change, and the implications of the effects on seasonality. The science behind seasonal events and how climate change can impact events are described in the main report, while the technical appendix describes the methods of evaluation and the system used to choose indicators.

Researchers created a model that predicts the probability of land-use change from forest to non-forest and carbon stocks across the US. Over 17 years, 3% of the study area shifted from forest to mixed or non-forest, with a higher probability of change in non-public forests than public forests, as well as areas closer to cities and coastal areas. This could be due to population growth and housing rates growth.

This article describes the monitoring of forest carbon in the Eastern US, with broader applications across the US, to compare forest land-use change and forest land cover change.

This article describes research on reforestation of cultivated lands and its effect on carbon sequestration in the US. It finds that soils store most of the carbon in ecosystems, and reforesting cultivated lands increases the carbon storage of topsoil. Carbon sequestration also doubles to triples in woody biomass after planting for at least 20 to 30 years.

This document analyzes the patterns of the carbon cycle of North America. Sectors such as agriculture and energy, as well as ecosystems such as forests and wetlands are assessed, in addition to the impact of human activity on the carbon cycle. Carbon cycling is reported for inland and coastal water, air, and land.

This web page describes how carbon integrates with land management and provides links to related topics.
