The Minnesota Forest Resources Council (MFRC) has released a forest carbon report from the University of Minnesota that provides new insights into the role of forests in achieving the state of Minnesota’s climate action goals.
The research shows that Minnesota’s forests, a known carbon sink, are absorbing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than previously estimated, offsetting about 15 percent of total statewide greenhouse gas emissions annually. It also demonstrates the importance of sustainable forest management for maintaining forest health and enhancing carbon storage over time.
