A Synthesis of Terrestrial Carbon Balance of Alaska and Projected Changes in the 21st Century: Implications for Climate Policy and Carbon Management

To better understand how carbon responses to changes in climate and other drivers in Alaska might influence national climate and carbon management policies, the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the USDA Forest Service and university scientists, has conducted a comprehensive assessment o...
