Ecosystem carbon stock influenced by plantation practice: implications for planting forests as a measure of climate change mitigation.

Uncertainties remain in the potential of forest plantations to sequestrate carbon (C). We synthesized 86 experimental studies with paired-site design, using a meta-analysis approach, to quantify the differences in ecosystem C pools between plantations and their corresponding adjacent primary and sec...
