Harvested wood products and REDD+: looking beyond the forest border [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2016 Background The focus of REDD+ is sensu stricto on maintaining forest carbon stocks. We extend the scope of sustainable management of forest from forests to timber utilization, and study carbon offsets resulting from the utilization of harvested timber ...

The potential for storing carbon by harvested wood products
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Forest ecosystems are a critical component of the global carbon cycle, which stores carbon in both vegetation biomass and soil organic matter. Timber harvesting can laterally move the carbon stored in forest sectors to harvested wood products (HWPs) and ...

Embodied CO2 in China’s trade of harvested wood products based on an MRIO model
Ecological Indicators, 2022 International trade of goods is also flows of CO2. As a key exporter of harvested wood products (HWPs), China emits a large amount of CO2 to meet the consumption of other countries.

Reevaluating carbon storage and emissions in California’s harvested wood products: implications for alternative waste parameters [PDF]
Carbon Balance and ManagementHarvested wood and paper products can store large amounts of carbon long-term but also contribute to carbon emissions once discarded. Currently, several tools are used for inventory and reporting carbon in wood and paper products in the U.S.
