Stored Carbon Per Metric Ton in Nova Scotia Woodlands:
The Acadian forest region encompasses most of the coastal areas of Nova Scotia, a unique, diverse ecosystem that is only found in eastern North America. This forest system has been described as the 'Fort Knox of carbon storage". The Acadian forest has a remarkable variety of southern hardwood forest blended with northern boreal forest, including 32 species of trees found only in this area. Nova Scotia has large managed forests, privately owned, this type of forest representing the majority of woodlands in Nova Scotia. With this diversity of above ground growth, biomass, carbon sequestration is maximized in the number of carbon offsets carbon credits per hector. Recent studies by Natural Resources Canada, and the University of Washington State have shown over 40 to 80 year cycles an Acadian forest, or a Kyoto forest (1990) located in Nova Scotia will hold 140 to 180 metric tons CO2 per hector. This sequestered amount of carbon per metric ton, per hector is as high or higher than that found in a tropical rain forest.
Carbon sequestration includes above ground tree stems, limbs, foliage, stumps, below ground root mass, soil, and litter in the form of biomass found on the forest floor. With Canada as an original member of the Montreal Accords and signing member of the Kyoto protocol, Canadian forests are eligible for carbon sequestration. All land deeds are underwritten by the Province of Nova Scotia's Land Registration Act and all properties sold in Nova Scotia come with warranty deeds. The Nova Scotia Land Registration Act provides the safety and security of warrantied deeds for property ownership. The high return, amounts of carbon sequestration per hector from managed forest plantations, company implemented mandated government silviculture reforestation and our Acadian forest, this area of the world makes a sound intelligent investment choice as a place to purchase woodlands for carbon credit forest land holdings well into the future.
