This technical report examines different future scenarios for sequestering carbon and reducing emissions of methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) from U.S. forestry and agriculture. Net greenhouse gas mitigation estimates in response to carbon price assumptions are presented for the period 2010 - 2110 (with a focus on 2015, 2025 and 2055), using a model of the U.S. forestry and agricultural sectors called FASOMGHG.
