China's Forests Unlock Lucrative Carbon Sink Potential, Transforming Climate Action
A study on forest carbon storage in China from 1990 to 2007 created a model to track how much carbon trees absorb. The researchers found a strong link between forest carbon storage over time. They calculated the best price for forest carbon storage in China, which is a little higher than the international price. The study also showed that up to 426 million cubic meters of trees could be harvested each year without harming the environment. The researchers think it's important to consider the impact of society and the economy on carbon storage to help China's carbon market grow sustainably and protect its forests.
