Above-ground biomass storage potential in primary rain forests managed for timber production in Costa Rica

Tropical forests play a fundamental role in mitigating climate change through storage of carbon in above- and below- ground biomass. Their mitigation potential is, however, affected by significant greenhouse gas emissions through tropical deforestation or forest degradation. Mitigating degradation c...

Above-ground biomass storage potential in primary rain forests managed for timber production in Costa Rica
