Forestry

2. Plantations absorb 20x more carbon than this type of land
5. The preferred plantation species due to its high rates of interception.
10. The combined loss of water at the surface by evaporation and transpiration by plants- relatively high in the forest, depends on the temperature
12. How many years after planting can trees remain as an active carbon sink?
13. The interception rate for Sitka Spruce, Eastern England

1. Forest trees remove this from the atmosphere in order to photosynthesise
3. The rotation period of plantations (years)
4. forestry plantations contain 10x more carbon than this type of land
6. High in the forest, happens due to the intercepted water being stored on the leaves
7. The way in which forests are managed
8. This is reduced because of the high rates of interception and evaporation
9. The difference in time between maximum rainfall and peak river discharge.
11. The processes of cutting down trees cleanly
