This document outlines how adding nutrients to forests can be a tool for greenhouse gas benefit through increased carbon sequestration in trees. It details that while the production and application of fertilizer create emissions, the enhanced tree growth leads to a net uptake of atmospheric CO2, contributing to provincial emission reduction goals. The document explains how this GHG benefit is calculated by comparing scenarios with and without fertilization, considering both increased carbon storage and operational emissions, and emphasizes the importance of selecting suitable forest stands for successful fertilization outcomes based on various ecological factors.
