Considering the sum of timber harvest and forest carbon storage levels, the volume strategy scenario with 3.96 tC/ha per year has the greatest sequestration impact; the value strategy and carbon storage strategy scenarios differed only slightly (3.14 tC/ha and 3.29 tC/ha per year, respectively).
The total loss of forest carbon stock in a given period and area is the sum of two components: (1) the product of average carbon stock per unit area times the forest area changed from forest land to other land use in the respective period, and (2) the reduction of average carbon stock in areas that remain forest land.
As these two land-use types had symmetric effects, we describe below land use by the sum of the relative covers of forest and agricultural land, which varies between 0 and 1, and which we call the land-use gradient.
Percent green space for each census tract was calculated as the sum of land area classified as deciduous forest, evergreen forest, mixed forest, dwarf scrub, orchards/vineyards/other, pasture/hay, small grains, fallow, row crops, urban/recreational grasses, palustrine forested wetlands, and palustrine scrub/shrub wetlands divided by the total area for that census tract.
Therefore, 40% of annual NPP [1] summed over the projected period of forest management activities in a given area can conservatively define the upper limit for the amount of harvested wood products that can be removed and still avoid degradation (net loss) of the total wood carbon stock over that same time period.

As payments were calculated on a per hectare basis, even those households with secure tenure in the province received only small sums of money from forest protection services, too small to persuade them to conserve the forest.
This extent enabled the Norman and Angevin kings to use the harsh punishments of forest law to extract large sums of money for their government.
Equation 7 sums the sources of an ecosystem in the event of forest clearing (release is positive).
