Conceptual illustration of the main components determining the net carbon sink in living biomass in forests, per area unit. Green colours indicate biomass growth; brown colours indicate biomass loss from the forest; and blue indicates the net sink of carbon in the forest. Natural disturbances are here included partly in natural mortality and partly under fellings (salvage logging).
