Wood Products Matter Wood Products Sink NEP
Message to modelers who want to diagnose the cause of the terrestrial sink: Estimate dependencies on climate with forest inventory, eddy covariance and atmospheric trace gas measurements. Add land use with secondary harvest to solve the initial condition problem. Track agricultural and wood products.
