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 ...

EU mitigation potential of harvested wood products. [PDF]
Carbon Balance Manag, 2015 The new rules for the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector under the Kyoto Protocol recognized the importance of Harvested Wood Products (HWP) in climate change mitigation. We used the Tier 2 method proposed in the 2013 IPCC KP Supplement to estimate emissions and removals from HWP from 1990 to 2030 in EU-28 countries with three future harvest

Global mitigation potential of carbon stored in harvested wood products [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Carbon stored within harvested wood products (HWPs) may be a tool to mitigate climate change, yet its global potential as a carbon sink is unknown and difficult to assess. We show that the global HWP pool was a net sink of 335 Mt of CO 2 equivalent (CO 2 e)⋅y

Inward- versus outward-focused bioeconomy strategies for British Columbia’s forest products industry: a harvested wood products carbon storage and emission perspective [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2021 Background British Columbia’s (BC) extensive forest resources provide climate change mitigation opportunities that are available to few other jurisdictions.

Estimating New Zealand’s harvested wood products carbon stocks and stock changes [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2020 Background Reducing net greenhouse gas emissions through conserving existing forest carbon stocks and encouraging additional uptake of carbon in existing and new forests have become important climate change mitigation tools. The contribution of harvested

Climate warming effect of disposal fates of harvested wood products [PDF]
Carbon Balance and ManagementThe objective of this research was to understand how the long-term climate warming effect of harvested wood products (HWP) changed as the proportional distribution of disposed products across three primary pathways (incineration, recycling, and ...

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 ...

Welfare Implications of Border Carbon Adjustments on the Trade of Harvested Wood Products. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 Abstract Background: Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) are designed to regulate carbon emissions and reduce carbon leakage. So far, BCAs are mainly applied for imported carbon-intensive products. On the other hand, harvested wood products (HWPs) are the extension of forest carbon stocks, whose changes affect a country’s carbon stock level ...

GHG displacement factors of harvested wood products: the myth of substitution. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Abstract Background A commonly held idea is that substituting wood for fossil fuels and energy intensive materials is a better strategy in mitigating climate change than storing more carbon in forests. This opinion, although ratified by the forest and energy policies of many countries, especially in Europe, remains highly questionable for at ...

Harvested Wood Products as a Carbon Sink in China, 1900⁻2016. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019 The use of harvested wood products (HWPs) influences the carbon flux. China is both the major producer and trader of HWP, so estimating the carbon stock change of China’s HWP is important to help curb climate change. Accurate reporting and accounting of carbon flows in the HWP pool is needed to meet greenhouse gas monitoring and climate change ...
