Question 1 Is this forest growing and sequestering carbon or is it releasing more carbon into the
atmosphere?
Question 2: Hypothetically, this forest had a historic population of anadromous salmon that are now
extinct. How would the figure above change (i.e. which factors and which months), if the salmon
population was restored (*hint: what would salmon provide to the forest, how would that impact the
various factors of productivity?)
