The effects of 20th century legacies and climate change on the 21st century carbon sink of a temperate forested landscape
Abstract
Temperate forests were identified as major carbon (C) sinks to the atmosphere, mitigating climate change. However, these forests are also subject to climate change themselves, and have been strongly altered by humans in the past. We here study the legacy of these past influences on the future C trajectories of a temperate forested landscape under a broad range of potential climate change and disturbance scenarios during the 21th century.
