Calculating the net carbon flux<\/strong> in forests remains a complex task based on variable methods that return different results. This is no small problem for analysts as well as policymakers, who are called upon to assess the effectiveness of climate mitigation initiatives undertaken. The discrepancies that still exist between the different estimates<\/strong>, however, can be overcome. This is supported by an international study<\/a> recently published in the journal Carbon Balance and Management that involved authors from several universities and research centers.<\/p>\n
