Description:
Documentation of settlement patterns and deforestation in the southeastern United States allows evaluation of regional carbon dynamics since A.D. 1750. From 1750 to 1950, the Southeast was a net source for carbon at an average rate of 0.13 gigaton per year. Only in the past 20 to 30 years has increased productivity of commercial forests resulted in a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide of 0.07 gigaton per year.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Delcourt, H R -- Harris, W F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Oct 17;210(4467):321-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17796049" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
