Variability of carbon uptake in managed and un-managed forests 1. Background The role of both managed and un-managed forests are clear for the sequestration of human induced increment in carbon dioxide gas. About 1.476 million hectares of the forest area in central Europe as undisturbed forest (FOREST EUROPE, UNECE and FAO 2011) and 0.1 million hectares in Germany as unmanaged and mainly old-growth forests has been reported (NFI 2010 as cited in Krug et al. 2012).

STRUCTURE OF THE ATMOSPHERE Troposphere | Closest to the earth and most weather happens here. Temperature drops as you go higher. Wind speeds increase. Most unstable layer. End of the sphere is marked by the tropoPAUSE- an isothermal layer where temp remains constant. | Stratosphere | Steady increase in temperature. Marked by the STRATOPAUSE. Atmosphere is thinner here. | Mesosphere | Temperature decreases to -90. No water vapour or dust to absorb radiation. Very strong winds at 3000 km/hr
