TL;DR: An assessment of the effects of climate change on US land resources, water resources agriculture, and biodiversity is presented in this article, where the authors focus on the US land and water resources.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe methods of estimating carbon storage of forest ecosystems and present estimates of C storage in the forest vegetation of administrative territories and ecoregions of Russia.

TL;DR: In this article, the PnET-CN model was used to examine how changes in atmospheric composition (CO2,O 3 and N deposition), climate and land-use affected carbon dynamics and sequestration in mid-Atlantic temperate forests during the 20th century.

TL;DR: In this paper, new models of the dynamic patterns of carbon uptake by forest ecosystems allow improvements in the estimation of the costs of carbon sequestration in the U.S. The preliminary results of an effort to update an earlier study indicate that conversion of environmentally sensitive and economically marginal cropland and pastureland in the USA could offset as much as 25% of current CO2 emissions at costs of $US 8-60 per short ton.

TL;DR: In this article, a carbon budget model was developed to examine the effects of forest management practices on carbon storage in U.S. private timberlands, which explicitly incorporates the demand for wood products and its impact on harvesting and other management decisions.
