All,
Here are two new items that are ancillary to our discussions and I thought some of you might be interested in. The Lussaert et al. just out in Nature is important for the discussion of the role of old forests and carbon sequestration. There has been a lot of argument about this, with some suggesting that "forest" carbon is best sequestered as 2x4s, and that old forests do not have any net gain of C. This assessment of a broad group of studies shows the opposite.
The second news piece on Bialowieza forest in Poland is interesting, and give some prespective on discussions similar to ours taking place elsewhere, with much longer intensive land use histories.
