Global Warming Mitigating Role of Wood Products from Washington State’s Private Forests

open access: yesForests, 2020
Similar to standing trees in the forests, wood products play an important role in enhancing the global sequestered carbon pool, by retaining the atmospheric carbon in a sequestered form for the duration of the functional life of the wood products.
