Short summary
Repeat-survey airborne laser scanning is used to build a simulation model of vegetation carbon dynamics in a Spanish woodland. Analyses of National Forest Inventory and tree-ring data are used to validate the woodland growth estimates. An average carbon sequestration rate of 1.95 Mg C/ha/year over a 100-year period is predicted, but this is highly sensitive to fire frequency. The study contributes to the important need to monitor large-scale carbon dynamics in the age of climate change.
