The Rainforest. The world’s forests comprise a major store of global carbon. Roughly half of the carbon in a forest is stored in the soil and half in the biomass; 85-95% of the biomass carbon is in the trees. The international community is debating whether emission trading should be extended to include the carbon stored in native forest ecosystems. If this happens then forests will have a new market value possibly greater than the wood value.
