Forest tree plantations can capture more carbon than most other land uses. For example, a radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) or blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.) plantations in the Green Triangle region in south-eastern Australia can on average produce more than 20 m3ha-1y-1 of wood, with a 19% and 25% rate of carbon sequestration, respectively (Polglase et al. 2008). As carbon trade is becoming a reality, there is a need to incorporate carbon credits into the economic models of plantation forestry for those major and some emerging species. Carbon sequestration needs to be considered as a biological trait and bio-economic models need to include its value. In this chapter we will show how carbon sequestration can be incorporated into the breeding objectives of Australian tree improvement programs for commercial plantation species.
