Attributing carbon changes in conterminous U.S. forests to disturbance and non‐disturbance factors from 1901 to 2010
Abstract
Recent climate variability (increasing temperature, droughts) and atmospheric composition changes (nitrogen deposition, rising CO 2 concentration) along with harvesting, wildfires, and insect infestations have had significant effects on U.S. forest carbon (C) uptake. In this study, we attribute C changes in the conterminous U.S. forests to disturbance and non‐disturbance factors with the help of forest inventory data, a continental stand age …
