The forest carbon (C) pool can actively be influenced by adapted forms of forest management that increase forest productivity and, thereby, increase the C input to the soil, and by decreasing soil disturbances, thereby avoiding high rates of decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). This e-note gives an overview on the known or expected effect of silvicultural treatments and decisions that lead to additionai C sequestration.
