Calculating Carbon Sink Loss From Deforestation
If 500 acres of forest, which acts as a carbon sink absorbing metric tons of carbon per acre per year, are clear-cut, what is the total lost carbon absorption capacity per year?
Carbon Absorption Data:
| Scenario | Area (acres) | Carbon Absorption (metric tons/acre/yr) |
|---|---|---|
| Forest | 500 | 2.5 |
A
Approximately 1250 metric tons per year
B
Approximately 2500 metric tons per year
C
Approximately 1500 metric tons per year
D
Approximately 1000 metric tons per year
