In this study, the authors clarify the role of common concepts in forest management – net annual increment, harvest and mortality – in determining the forest sink. The authors evaluate to what extent the forest sink is on track to meet the climate goals of the EU. For this assessment they use data from the latest national GHG inventories and a forest model (Carbon Budget Model).
