In climate change reporting, removals to forestland, also called the forest sink, measures the net annual accumulation of carbon in forests by woody biomass, soils and litter. Table 4.2 and Figure 4.2 show estimates and projections of net carbon dioxide removals attributed to UK forestry, from 1990 to 2020.
In the longer term, the annual rate […]

Our research-focused chemical analysis laboratory provides soil, water, plant and foliage (leaf) testing to support a wide range of agricultural and forest-related activities.
Environmental monitoring
Plant, soil and water analyses are key to any environmental or site monitoring exercise, whether for regulatory or research purposes. We can provide a basic laboratory testing service, or work with you […]
Forest carbon sequestration is the process of increasing the carbon content of the forest through processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (i.e. photosynthesis). Once sequestered the carbon is stored in the forest within living biomass, soil and litter and contributes to the forest carbon stock. The forest carbon sink describes the natural reservoir […]
