How much carbon is absorbed ( / annum / ha) in northern forests?
I am interested to know the quantity of carbon sequestered annually per hectare in northern (Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc) forests (i.e spruce and pine forests). If the info is available for the carbon absorption at different ages of the forest then that would be great to see. I am specifically talking of plantation forests rather than original growth areas.
I would be looking for sources for your info too.
Thanks very much for your help, all I can find is info on Australian forests!
Kind regards and best wishes

I would say you should research how many cubic feet of wood mass grows in a particular area per year. The gov, agricuture site should have this. Then research how much carbon is in a cubic foot of pine, or whatever tree grows there.
Remember bark and branchs and leaves will have carbon too and that will be the hardest parrt. You might have to give that an educated guess. Say maybe 25% more.
