Forest GHG 101
Forest Management & Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
- Reviews forest management as an under-appreciated method for providing meaningful carbon sequestration with added benefit of carbon stored in long-lived wood products (building materials) after it leaves the forest. That is, by producing timber, carbon may now be stored long-term in building, furniture and other long-lived products. Also covers bioenergy and the benefits of replacing high GHG-emitting concrete and steel with wood products.
