Technical session information

Among their many benefits, forests present an invaluable resource for carbon sequestration and storage in our efforts to mitigate climate change. Notably, forest density and carbon stock accumulation can exacerbate threats to forest health and resilience, prompting a need to understand how we can balance forest health and resilience while optimizing for carbon storage.
