C Boisvenue*（1），Y Bergeron（2），P Bernier（3）& C Peng（4）背景：森林由于其碳储存潜力，已成为减缓和适应气候变化以及可交易信贷系统的焦点。但是，从对气候负责的管理和环境认证演变而来的目标是否相互冲突？结果：我们提出的模拟证据表明，生态系统管理和最大限度地减少碳排放是不是相互排斥的北方森林。结论：管理决定对森林碳的维持有重大影响，但在系统外固碳或产品替代减少排放也很重要。必须进行认真的核算，以适当评价森林管理的生态系统服务权衡。进一步令人关切的是，预计火灾周期长度的缩短可能会减少北方景观中的碳固存。
C Boisvenue*(1), Y Bergeron(2), P Bernier(3) & C Peng(4) Background: Forests have become a focal point of climate change mitigation and adaptation, and of tradable credit systems, due to their carbon storage potential. But are the objectives evolving from climate-responsible stewardship and environmental certification conflicting? Results: We present modeled evidence showing that ecosystem management and minimizing carbon emissions are not mutually exclusive in boreal forests. Conclusion: Management decisions have substantial implications for forest carbon maintenance, but carbon sequestered outside the system or emission savings from product substitution are also important. A careful accounting will be necessary to properly evaluate ecosystem services trade-offs for forest management. Of further concern is the projected reduction in fire cycle lengths potentially reducing the carbon sequestered in the boreal landscape.
