If the audience doesn’t know then let them know that growth/biomass/carbon accumulate it this type of curve, but the axis differ by species and environment 8 9 Forest restoration projects can increase resiliency and may increase carbon sequestration through the reduced likelihood of catastrophic disturbances affecting carbon amounts and sequestration rates 10 11 12 13 Highlight – IM&A and Adaptive Management approaches 14 These principles cover six areas of forest carbon management. They provide considerations for integrating carbon management with planning and implementation processes and with efforts to adapt forests to the impacts of a changing climate 15 16 17
