Can timber provision from Amazonian production forests be sustainable? [PDF]

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Around 30 Mm ^3 of sawlogs are extracted annually by selective logging of natural production forests in Amazonia, Earth’s most extensive tropical forest.

Global risk of wildfire across timber production systems [PDF]

Nature Communications
Timber is worth $1.5 trillion US Dollars annually with demand rising, but wildfires increasingly threaten production. Plantations occupy 3% of forests globally and produce 33% of the world’s timber, but a critical question is whether they are more ...

Optimizing thinnings for timber production and carbon sequestration in planted teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) stands

Forest Systems, 2019
Aim of study: We developed an optimization model for determining thinning schedules in planted teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) stands that maximize the financial output in terms of soil expectation value (SEV) and net present value (NPV) considering a) the ...

Global land and carbon consequences of mass timber products [PDF]

Nature Communications
Mass timber products can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing steel and cement. However, the increase in wood demand raises wood prices, and the environmental consequences of these market changes are unclear. Here we investigate the global carbon

Estimating global land system impacts of timber plantations using MAgPIE 4.3.5 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2021
Out of 1150 Mha (million hectares) of forest designated primarily for production purposes in 2020, plantations accounted for 11 % (131 Mha) of this area and fulfilled more than 33 % of the global industrial roundwood demand.

Illegal Logging and the Productivity Trap of Timber Production in Mexico

Forests, 2021
This paper uses two approaches to estimate illegal volumes and provides arguments to show that timber production in Mexico is largely defined by the presence of significant volumes of illegal logging, which supply the market with a volume equivalent to ...

Assessing the Technical Efficiency of Timber Production during the Transition from a Production-Oriented Management Model to a Multifunctional One: A Case from Poland 1990–2019

Forests, 2021
The present work applied a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to assess changes in the technical efficiency of timber production at a period of transition in forest management priorities.
