Carbon Sequestration Did you know southeast Ohio’s forests play an important role in absorbing carbon from the atmosphere? Through photosynthesis, trees absorb and store carbon dioxide, locking carbon up in their roots, trunks, branches, and leaves for varying lengths of time. This process is called carbon sequestration. By the absorbing and storing of carbon by forests, the amount of greenhouse gases held in the atmosphere is reduced. This is a good thing, as excess greenhouse gases—like carbon dioxide—contribute to climate change. The ability of forests to sequester carbon means forests will play an important role in mitigating the effects of climate change now and into the future. Most of Ohio’s forest carbon is stored in the southeast region’s oak-dominated forests. The carbon stored in the Wayne National Forest is a relatively small, but important, subset of the total forest carbon stored across the state of Ohio. Recent modeling estimates that the national forest stores over 18 million tons of carbon! All of the forests across the state are estimated to store over 600 million tons of carbon. In a forest, carbon is stored in three main places: in living plants, in dead plants, and in the soil. But there’s some nuance to know. While forests do absorb and store carbon, they also emit carbon back into the atmosphere. As dead vegetation and organic matter decays, carbon that had been stored in it is actually released again. The balance between how much carbon a forest absorbs and how much carbon it emits determines whether a forest is a carbon sink or a carbon source. Forests are a carbon sink most of the time, which means they absorb and store more carbon than they emit. But sometimes forests can actually be a carbon source, especially after events like a large wildfire or pest outbreak. The amount of carbon that a forest both absorbs and emits changes year to year. There are some things that we can do, however, that can make a forest more likely to stay a strong carbon sink. A forest that’s vulnerable to threats—such as disease, pest, and intense wildfires—means the carbon that’s stored in that forest is also vulnerable. Efforts to improve the health and resiliency of a forest is, therefore, a way to improve its ability to absorb and store carbon long-term! Forest Service photo by Kyle Brooks

North Country Trailhead Sign The North Country National Scenic Trail is a Congressionally-designated trail in the National Trails System that spans 4,600 miles from North Dakota to Vermont. As it winds its way past mountains, cities, prairies, and farms, it travels through both the Marietta Unit and the Athens Unit of the Wayne National Forest, where it is concurrent with Ohio’s own Buckeye Trail. The North Country Trail can be accessed in a variety of places throughout the Wayne National Forest. Forest Service photo by Kyle Brooks.

Upstream Rock Run A view of the Upstream Rock Run Coal Mine Remediation Site. Prior to reclamation efforts in the early 2000s, this hollow was the site of an abandoned coal mine with many environmental issues, such as acid mine drainage. A reclamation project mitigated the acid mine drainage, recontoured the land, created a pond, and created a native prairie planting. Photo by the Forest Service.

Payne Cemetery The historic Black community of Paynes Crossing lies in the northwest corner of the Athens Ranger District. The free Black founders of Paynes Crossing discovered economic security in the forested hills of Appalachia Ohio, and they acquired considerable amounts of land and wealth for the time and place. Many of the Black residents of Paynes Crossing were farmers, while others were coopers and miners, and at least one resident was a pharmacist. The residents were also heavily involved in the Underground Railroad, helping self-liberated Black Americans safely move north as they escaped enslavement in the south. Later during the Civil War, several residents enlisted in the Ohio regiments of the U.S. Colored Troops to fight for the Union and a cause which ultimately led to the abolition of enslavement in the United States. All of the men survived the war and returned home to Paynes Crossing and their families in 1865. The only obvious remnant of the community today is Payne Cemetery, which sits on a ridgetop adjacent to State Route 595 and is now part of the Wayne National Forest. The cemetery is a quiet reminder of the Black history that can be found in the hills of Ohio. Photo by the Forest Service.
