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 ...

Model for international trade of sawnwood using machine learning models [PDF]
, 2016 The study tests the potential of machine learning models to analyse and forecast global bilateral trade flows of soft sawnwood by countries. The empirical trade flow data including annual import and export quantities and prices of soft sawnwood from 2000 to 2014 is obtained from FAOStat.

Mathematical model for sawnwood demand forecasting [PDF]
, 2017 Ability to predict the sawnwood demand provides competitive advantage for sawnwood producers. It helps sawnwood producers to better manage the supply against the demand in the markets they operate in. This thesis studied sawnwood demand forecasting based on machine learning approaches.

DRYING BEHAVIOUR OF SECOND-GROWTH NOTHOFAGUS ALPINA [PDF]
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2010 Wood drying quality and transversal permeability of Chilean second-growth Nothofagus alpina (raulí) were evaluated. Two charges of raulí sawnwood were dried in a experimental kiln.

Robust modeling of material flows to end-uses under uncertainty: UK wood flows and material efficiency opportunities. [PDF]
J Ind EcolAbstract In this study we quantify wood flows from raw materials to end‐uses for the United Kingdom in a robust way using a new material flow analysis (MFA) model with uncertainty. This is important to identify opportunities for efficiency given constraints on wood supply.

A review of methods to trace material flows into final products in dynamic material flow analysis: From industry shipments in physical units to monetary input-output tables, Part 1. [PDF]
J Ind Ecol, 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 ...

Estimating global demand for coniferous sawnwood taking uncertain variables into account [PDF]
, 2019 This thesis aims at providing new estimates regarding the global demand for coniferous sawnwood. Individual and representative elasticities of demand for the sample of 92 countries that represented 97 % of the global coniferous sawnwood demand in 2015 were estimated using econometric methods.

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
