Wild foods from forests: Quantities collected across Zambia
People and Nature, 2022 Forests provide an immense range of benefits to people, many of which are not prioritized by forest policy because they are difficult to quantify. Wild foods from forests enhance the quality of diets for those who consume them and provide income for ...

Nature‐based solutions are critical for putting Brazil on track towards net‐zero emissions by 2050
Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 24, Page 7085-7101, December 2023., 2023 We assess the role of national policies and nature‐based solutions (NbS) in Brazil's net‐zero pathways using a comprehensive regional integrated assessment modelling approach. Results indicate that going beyond Brazil's Forest Code, through zero deforestation and enhanced large‐scale restoration (FC+ scenario), keeps Brazil on a clear path towards net ...

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 9, Page 1119-1139, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Meeting climate change mitigation targets by 2050, as outlined in international pledges, involves determining optimal strategies for forest management, wood supply, the substitution of greenhouse gas‐intensive materials and energy sources, and wood product disposal. Our study quantified the cumulative mitigation potential by 2050 of the forest

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 436-456, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Dynamic material flow analysis (dMFA) is widely used to model stock‐flow dynamics. To appropriately represent material lifetimes, recycling potentials, and service provision, dMFA requires data about the allocation of economy‐wide material consumption to different end‐use products or sectors, that is, the different product stocks, in which ...

A system‐wide assessment of forest biomass production, markets, and carbon
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 154-165, February 2023., 2023 This study examines the effects of supplying forest biomass on forest ecosystem services and goods with a dynamic systems model. Results indicate that expanding forest biomass consumption, even at relatively low levels, will have important impacts on ecosystem services, particularly the benefits of terrestrial carbon sequestration and timber outputs ...

Widespread Unquantified Conversion of Old Boreal Forests to Plantations
Earth's Future, Volume 10, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Across the boreal biome, clear‐cutting of old, previously non clear‐cut forests with high naturalness followed by tree planting or seeding is a major land use change. However, how much previously uncut forest has been converted to plantations remains unquantified.

Pest risk assessment of Atropellis spp. for the EU territory. [PDF]
EFSA J, 2017 Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Plant Health (PLH) Panel performed a risk assessment for Atropellis spp. in the EU focusing on the risk of entry, the host range and the potential impacts. Atropellis is a fungal pathogen of several Pinus spp. in North America.

Agricultural Economics, Volume 53, Issue 5, Page 687-701, September 2022., 2022 Abstract The smooth transition autoregressive (STAR) modeling framework has gained popularity in commodity price analysis due to its ability to capture essential features of complex dynamics. This study addresses the questions of whether the improved in‐sample fit of STAR models results in more accurate forecasts compared to linear autoregressive ...

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 13, Issue 8, Page 1210-1231, August 2021., 2021 We examine misconceptions about climate effects of forest bioenergy and highlight the importance of a systems approach in assessing options and developing policy for forest bioenergy. Assessment should consider the whole bioeconomy, including the life cycle of bioenergy systems, effects on forest management and landscape carbon stocks, and effects on ...

Experimentalist interactions: Joining up the transnational timber legality regime
Regulation &Governance, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 686-708, July 2021., 2021 Abstract This paper analyzes the interactions between the separate components of the emerging transnational timber legality regime, both public and private. It examines how far, and through what institutional mechanisms, these interactions are producing a joined‐up transnational regime, based on a shared normative commitment to combat illegal logging ...
