DescriptionThis is the final report of the carbon sequestration demonstration project undertaken at the New Jersey Forest Resource Center (FREC) located near Jackson, New Jersey. The four principle tasks of the project were (1) a literature review of tree growth information and forest management literature, (2) a cooperative effort between New Jersey Forest Service and Far Horizons to design a carbon sequestration demonstration that would meet the multiple needs of the New Jersey Forest Service, (3) selecting and demarking a series of plots and then measuring and assessing the carbon sequestered there, and (4) preparation of a report of the findings and supporting materials. The results of the carbon sequestration measurements showed that more carbon is sequestered per acre where soils are better, either less prone to drought or more fertile (higher organic content), an in more mature versus less mature stands on the same soil type.
