this actually implies that high stand density enhances forests growth and carbon sequestration natural regeneration in addition to planting and delaying or not doing tendering makes the stand density high and thus indirectly help in enhancing carbon stock in forests silvicultural practices such as clearing make more space and nutrients available for the remaining saplings or trees in young stands and thus enhance timber production in the long run the drainage of peatland on the one hand enhances the forest growth and thus carbon sequestration in forest biomass releases carbon from peatland itself on the other hand
