"In the U.S., forests take up 12% of the nation’s #GreenhouseGasEmissions annually and store the carbon long term in trees and soils.
Mature and old-growth forests, with larger trees than younger forests, play an outsized role.
Remarkably, however, #logging is hardly considered in the Forest Service’s initial analysis, although studies show that it causes greater carbon losses than wildfires and pest infestations."
