"This report examines how forest management can affect the carbon (C) balance of Ontario's forests. Ten forest management activities organized in four themes were examined: stand establishment (site preparation, planting, and vegetation management), growth enhancement (thinning, fertilization, and genetic improvement), forest protection (from forest fires, and insect and disease infestations), and harvesting (controlling the area occupied by roads, skid trails and landings, and reducing the area disturbed by harvesting)."--Document.

This report updates a review of literature about the effects of global climate change on forest plants and communities published in 1998. The focus is on changes in Ontario predicted for forest fires, insect outbreaks, disease, forest growth, species composition, harvest rates, wood supply, genetics and regeneration, and carbon-based forest management.--Includes text from document.

Reviews literature concerning the effects of global climate change on forest plants and communities, and provides opinions on the potential impacts that climate change may have on Ontario forests. Sections of the review discuss the following: the climate of Ontario in the 21st century as predicted by climate models; forest hydrology in relation to climate change; insects and climate change; impacts on fungi in the forest ecosystem; impacts on forest fires and their management; plant physiological responses; genetic implications of climate change; forest vegetation dynamics; the use of models in global climate change studies; and forest management responses to climate change.

"One of the greatest challenges society is facing is rapid climate change resulting from the addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, mostly in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels. ... In addition to many other societal benefits, forests store large amounts of carbon (C). As a result, it is important to understand how forest management and natural processes affect forest C storage. Such knowledge can be used to manage forests so that they function as carbon sinks and help reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. ... The amounts of C stored in Ontario's forests and wood products, the duration of storage, and the potential for increased storage through silviculture is important to the global C cycle. These can be predicted using computer models that convert information on the state of the forest (its age and species composition) into values of C in all the live and dead organic matter pools in which it occurs. This report uses data about Ontario's forest structure and information from the forest management planning process and past harvests to describe C in forests and wood products today and through to the end of this century."--Document.

"Forest carbon and how it changes over time provides an indicator of the sustainability of forest management. It is also a sign of sequestration or emission of carbon dioxide between forests and the atmosphere that can affect the mitigation of atmospheric greenhouse gas accumulation and global climate change. To address the need for information on Ontario's forest carbon budget, a large-scale forest carbon modelling project was initiated. The background and objectives of this project are described in this report. Three complementary approaches are being used to estimate large-scale forest carbon storage in Ontario's forests: (1) the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBMCFS), (2) a modified version of FORCARB, which is the model developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to estimate carbon in U.S. forests, and (3) direct estimation of forest biomass carbon using Ontario's growth and yield and forest resources inventory data (CAM, the Carbon Allometry Method)."--Docment.
