ThinkForest Ask A Scientist: Carbon Farming in European Forests

Carbon farming in forestry aims to enhance carbon sequestration while maintaining ecosystem health and biodiversity. It includes practices such as afforestation, extending rotation periods, diversifying forest structure, and peatland restoration. As the EU aims for climate neutrality by 2050, forests play a crucial role in removing CO₂ from the atmosphere and storing it in wood products. Given that forests cover nearly 40% of Europe’s land area, they are crucial to the EU’s emission reduction strategies.
