Abstract

Forests are the most important terrestrial biome with respect to the carbon cycle. Forest biomass and carbon estimation in forests deviates from that in the agricultural lands because the relevant time range is long and the biomass storage can be very high. The biomass is not harvested annually from the same site but rather after several decades or even after more than a century. On large areas of the globe Man does not harvest forest at all. On some other areas forest resources are over-exploited.
