On the use of siberian larch to increase forest carbon storage
The range and ecological and biological features of Siberian larch (Larix sibirica L.) were assessed from the point of view of the ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere and deposit carbon. The wide geographic and ecological ranges are determined by ecological preferences and biological features of the species. The high sequestering and depositing properties of individuals of the species are shown. A conclusion was made about the possibility of using L. sibirica in reforestation in the northeast of European Russia (in particular, in the Kirov region) and, in this regard, increasing the biodiversity and ecosystem functions of forests, including the production of high-quality wood.
