GHG displacement factors of harvested wood products: the myth of substitution. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 A common idea is that substituting wood for fossil fuels and energy intensive materials is a better strategy in mitigating climate change than storing more carbon in forests. This opinion remains highly questionable for at least two reasons. Firstly, the

The potential for storing carbon by harvested wood products
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Forest ecosystems are a critical component of the global carbon cycle, which stores carbon in both vegetation biomass and soil organic matter. Timber harvesting can laterally move the carbon stored in forest sectors to harvested wood products (HWPs) and ...
