Abstract
Carbon sequestration by increased N application has been suggested as an efficient method to reduce green house gas emissions. The boreal forest is one of the largest biomes of the earth where a lot of the world’s soil carbon is stored. Obviously a high potential for carbon sequestration (Cannel, 2003) exists but high uncertainties are related to methods of accurate quantifications.
