Forest | Forest risks, impacts and opportunities | 8.16a | Please indicate the opportunities associated with sustainable forest management and describe how your region is positioning itself to take advantage of them. | 2 | Describe how the region is maximizing this opportunity | 1 | In Catalonia, forests are the land system with the largest carbon stock per hectare, at 149.5 tons per hectare. They are followed by pastures, with 121.4 tonnes per hectare. These are followed by scrubland (112.1 tonnes per hectare) and woody crops (104.0 tonnes per hectare), and finally, arable crops, with 100.8 tonnes per hectare. Most of this carbon is stored in the soil as humus. In absolute terms, taking into account the total area of each ecosystem, forests are in first place, with a total of 173 Tg (million tonnes) of stored carbon.Forests are not exploited as extensively as they used to be, when they gave us many products with a high economic value, and the decline in economic interest has in many cases led to neglect in their management.Since most of our forests are already suffering from the effects of climate change, flexible forest management adapted to each species and geographical region is essential.They are also valuable as ecosystems: they regulate the water, nutrients and carbon cycles, maintain biodiversity, help to control forest fires, protect the soil and prevent it from suffering from erosion. Measures are therefore needed to prevent the rural exodus, and, more specifically, the exodus from farming. These measures, combined with others to protect pastures and meadows, would maintain the sink capacity of all these natural systems. | |||

Of these, 380.000 are declared of public utility and are, mainly, property of local entities (mainly city councils and decentralized municipal entities).The Generalitat de Catalunya owns some 100.000ha forest. | ||
