Radiative Forcing of Aerosol Emissions Under Alternative Wood Use Scenarios in Finland

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2025.
Instantaneous and effective radiative forcings for the increased wood use scenarios in Finland were studied in comparison to current wood use. An increase of 10 million m3 in the annual harvest was alternatively allocated to energy biomass combusted in small‐scale appliances (80 EB SSB) or in medium‐to‐large scale boilers (80 EB LSB), to sawn wood ...

Leveraging Biomass Procurement to Mitigate Carbon Emissions at the Stand Level: A Case Study in Eastern Canadian Forests

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2025.
The carbon emission reductions from using residual forest biomass for bioenergy remain controversial, despite its potential to mitigate climate change. This study evaluated how intensifying wood procurement for bioenergy, alongside supplying fiber for conventional wood industries, can support low‐carbon forest management.

Water storage of roundwood

, 1987
Following the windthrows caused by the storm of November 1982 in the Massif Central region, particularly in the Auvergne, a number of sawmill owners in this region established large stockpiles. In order to protect them from insect or fungal attack, they chose water storage, either by ponding or sprinkler storage.

A model for roundwood of planted forests

Advances in Forestry Science
The market prices wood in volume, mainly at the source, the forest, in the form of standing wood. In this way the forestry producer does not have the quantification of the wood products that can be extracted from the trees. The information on wood products, as well as their valuation, can help in a closer evaluation of the real value of the wood, for a

A Global Assessment of Plant and Animal Community Responses to Forest Management Over Time

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
Written Summary: We assessed the effects of seven forest management systems on biodiversity over time. We find that biodiversity responds more negatively to intensive than extensive forest management, but we also find that biodiversity can recover over time, particularly in intensively managed plantations and agroforests. ABSTRACT Transitions to forest

Burning Up the Carbon Sink: How the EU's Forest Biomass Policy Undermines Climate Mitigation

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2025.
The EU's reliance on forest biomass for renewable energy is weakening its forest carbon sink, with even heavily forested Member States losing their net sink entirely. Despite 2016 modeling that predicts this decline in the sink, EU renewable energy policy treats forest biomass as having zero carbon emissions, conflicting with IPCC guidance.

A multiple criteria decision analysis approach for assessing the quality of hardwood species used by Greek timber industries

Folia Oecologica
Timber industries make an essential contribution to economies worldwide, while the sustainable supply of timber generates revenue, supports employment, and contributes to economic activity. The strategic choice of wood species using specific criteria can

Production economics and carbon footprint of an integrated timber harvesting operation in the Northeastern US

Energy Nexus
Woody biomass has tremendous potential to reduce the reliance on non-renewable energy, however, the high cost, uncertain harvesting carbon footprint, and policies may hinder it from becoming a predominant component of the US renewable energy sector ...
