Researchers show that future carbon accumulation rates are highly sensitive to future land use changes.

They found that high rates of carbon accumulation in lake sediments were stimulated by several factors, including «thermokarst erosion and deposition of terrestrial organic matter, -LSB-...] nutrient release from thawing permafrost that stimulated lake productivity, and by slow decomposition in cold, anoxic lake bottoms.»

Study: Long - term warming equivalent to 10 °C per century could be sufficient to trigger compost - bomb instability in drying organic soils Wiley: First generation climate — carbon cycle models suggest that climate change will suppress carbon accumulation in soils, and could even lead to a net loss of global soil carbon over the next century.

These disturbances reduced carbon accumulation rates but the losses were compensated by subsequent regrowth and storage of dead material on the site.

The researchers estimated that hundreds of millions of trees were potentially destroyed, equivalent to a significant fraction of the estimated mean annual carbon accumulation for the Amazon forest.

While carbon accumulation in the atmosphere and carbon emissions from fossil fuels are well measured, most global carbon numbers are not known with a high degree of certainty, so even the size of the missing sink has long been a fairly open question.

Total carbon accumulation reaches 1 Pg y − 1 after 50 years, and continues at that rate as further land conversion continues

Yet, despite advances in our understanding of productivity at the scales of leaves and stands, no consensus exists about the nature of productivity at the scale of the individual tree4, 5,6,7, in part because we lack a broad empirical assessment of whether rates of absolute tree mass growth (and thus carbon accumulation) decrease, remain constant, or increase as trees increase in size and age.

In fact, forest need not be the offset mechanism used to illustrate the magnitude of carbon accumulation in the atmosphere [10], [34].

Land use choices that either reduce the rate of afforestation or increase the rate of deforestation are key factors in future forest carbon accumulation.
