A systems approach to assess climate change mitigation options in landscapes of the United States forest sector

Carbon Balance and Management, 2018
Background United States forests can contribute to national strategies for greenhouse gas reductions. The objective of this work was to evaluate forest sector climate change mitigation scenarios from 2018 to 2050 by applying a systems-based approach that

Forest carbon in North America: annual storage and emissions from British Columbia’s harvest, 1965–2065

Carbon Balance and Management, 2012
Background The default international accounting rules estimate the carbon emissions from forest products by assuming all harvest is immediately emitted to the atmosphere.

INFLUENCE OF LOG LENGTH ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF WOOD HARVESTING AND TRANSPORTATION

FLORESTA, 2022
The selection of machines and the development of operating systems are the major challenge for reducing costs in harvesting and forest transportation. This work aimed to carry out a technical analysis of harvesting and forest transport activities in two different log lengths (6 and 7m).

Closing an open balance: The impact of increased tree harvest on forest carbon

GCB Bioenergy, 2022
Fossil‐based emissions can be avoided by using wood in place of non‐renewable raw materials as energy and materials. However, wood harvest influences forest carbon stocks. Increased harvest may reduce the overall climate benefit of wood use significantly,

The Effect of the Tree Dieback Process on the Mechanical Properties of Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Wood

, 2023
As a result of the progressing climate changes, there is an increase in the volume of pine deadwood harvested each year from Polish forests. Its presence is an important part of the forest ecosystem; however, there are some indications that the material ...

A Comparative Parametric Study on Dynamic Biogenic Carbon of Harvested Wood Products: Biomass Rotation Period vs. Product Lifetime

Energies, 2023
Harvested wood products (HWPs) are a class of products that are recognized for their potential to mitigate climate warming: the absorption of CO2, which is necessary to the growth of their biomass feedstock, temporarily reduces the amount of CO2 present ...

HeProMo: A decision support tool to estimate wood harvesting productivities

PLOS ONE, 2020
In the field of forestry, one of the most economically important ecosystem service is the provision of timber. The need to calculate the economic effects of forest management in the short, medium, and long term is increasing. Forest operations or timber harvesting, which comprises felling, processing, and transport of trees or timber, are responsible ...
