Evaluating the carbon sequestration potential of volcanic soils in southern Iceland after birch afforestation
<p>Afforestation is a strategy to sequester atmospheric carbon in the terrestrial system and to enhance ecosystem services. Iceland's large areas of formerly vegetated and now degraded ecosystems therefore have a high potential to act as carbon sinks. Consequently, the ecological restorat...
