A study across 7.6 million acres of mostly privately-owned commercial forest lands in northern Maine found that current management practices already absorb millions of metric tons of carbon annually. But if strategies such as increased planting and selective harvesting were widely adopted, foresters could help increase carbon storage by at least 20% over the next 60 years.
Maine forests already absorb about 70% of the state's annual fossil fuel emissions. Now, a new study shows that Maine's commercial forest landowners could increase annual carbon storage by at least 20% over the next 60 years while maintaining timber harvest levels.
