Carbon budget analysis for the Olympic Peninsula

From the Abstract: "The primary greenhouse gas of concern is carbon dioxide, and the two largest anthropogenic sources are due to theh burning of fossil fuels and rapid changes in land use. A starting point for assessing future impacts of global climate change is to construct a carbon budget to assess where pools and sources exist for a particular region. This paper represents such an inventory of carbon sources and sinks for the Olympic Peninsula region of Western Washington....The hypothesis for this study was to assess whether there was enough forest cover in the wilderness regions of the Peninsula to contribute to carbon sequestration and result in the study area being an overall carbon sink."
