This paper investigates how to better integrate forest carbon management into overall forest resource planning. The authors developed a novel modeling system that combines forest disturbance, management activities, and carbon dynamics to estimate both the current carbon stocks and the natural carbon-holding capacity of a forest landscape in British Columbia, Canada. By comparing these estimates under different harvesting scenarios, the study provides a framework and essential information for implementing nature-based climate change mitigation strategies in forest ecosystems. This paper aims to bridge the gap between traditional forest management and informed carbon management.
