Annual carbon balance of Canada's forests during 1895–1996

This paper reports annual carbon (C) balance of Canada's forests during 1895–1996 estimated using the Integrated Terrestrial Ecosystem C‐budget model (InTEC) [ Chen et al. this issue]. During 1895–1910, Canada's forests were small sources of 30±15 Tg C yr −1 due to large disturbances (forest fire, insect‐induced mortality, and harvest) in late nineteenth century. The forests became large sinks of 170±85 Tg C yr −1 during 1930–1970, owing to …
