The BLM published an EIS in 2008 that did sophisticated projection of the forest under a wide range of management strategies specifically  for the O&C  forest.  Included in this range of alternatives were harvest levels at and over 500 million board feet.  Under all of the management strategies considered there was an increasing level of carbon from today's conditions.   The total error associated with these estimations, although it cannot be precisely quantified, is greater than the difference among the alternatives.   Annual harvest is a tiny fraction of the overall carbon equation especially with the long cycle between harvest the BLM contemplated at the time.  Increasing carbon stores and increasing harvest, over the modest levels practiced under the NWFP, are certainly possible.  This is not an either or choice.
