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

This report details how the carbon cycle works in forest and grassland ecosystems. It also describes management activities that can increase carbon in these ecosystems.

This management guide describes 10 forest management practices that can increase short term carbon storage for hardwood forests in the Northeast US and has general applications across many forest types. These practices also improve forest resilience against climate change impacts. These practices were chosen independently of cost, but sources of funding for each practice are also described in the guide.

This publication describes the role of carbon within the forest, the impacts of various land uses on forest carbon and outlines common trade-offs landowners may experience when making informed decisions regarding their lands. This publication was co-created by the University of Massachusetts and University of Vermont and centers on New England regional forestlands, although concepts may apply generally to other areas of the United States.
