Also, I have a question regarding the following point:
“Once a forest is mature, it does not continue to absorb carbon. Instead, trees decay and grow in roughly equal measure, with the mass of the forest (and therefore the carbon sequestered) remaining roughly constant.”
I’ve seen that statement often, but carbon is stored in the soil as well, isn’t it? However, I have no clue about which % of the carbon absorbed by a tree remains in the soil and which % is released again when it dies.
Great report, thanks!

How did you approach this?
