Research-based Carbon Forest visualises the carbon cycle in Finnish forests
Carbon Forest is an interactive, browser-based visualisation of the carbon cycle at different stages of a Finnish forest’s rotation period. Developed at the University of Helsinki, it offers anyone interested in the topic an easy and illustrative way to explore how carbon moves through forests. Carbon Forest shows when forests act as carbon sinks, when they are carbon sources, and which kinds of forests make the best carbon stores.
The service also provides concise, easy-to-understand descriptions of the most common forest characteristics from the perspectives of both the carbon cycle and biodiversity.
