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.

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 ...

Analysis of Economic Efficiency in Sawnwood Production in Southwest Nigeria [PDF]
Journal of Human Ecology, 2009 This paper deals with the issue of improving economic efficiency in sawnwood production in Ondo and Osun states, southwest Nigeria. The stochastic frontier approach was used to estimate a self dual Cobb Douglas production function which gave estimates of technical, allocative and economic efficiencies.

Estimation of the embodied carbon in China's wood products trade using input–output methodology
Chinese Journal of Population, Resources and Environment, 2020 This study calculates the embodied carbon in imports, exports, net exports, and the processing trade of China's wood product sector between 2001 and 2016 using a non-competitive input–output (I–O) model.
