Closing an open balance: The impact of increased tree harvest on forest carbon

Sampo Soimakallio et al.

Summary: Using wood instead of non-renewable raw materials can avoid fossil-based emissions, but wood harvest can impact forest carbon stocks. Increased harvests can significantly reduce the overall climate benefit of wood use, but this is often overlooked. A review of simulation studies showed that increased harvests reduce carbon stocks in temperate and boreal forests over 100 years.

Spatially explicit optimization of the forest management tradeoff between timber production and carbon sequestration

Wenwen Deng et al.

Summary: Forest farms play a crucial role in landscape-scale forest management in China, aiming to maximize timber production and ecosystem services. This study developed a planning model to optimize forest management approaches, with a focus on carbon sequestration. The results indicate that the spatial allocation of different management practices and forest restructuring are key to improving forest carbon stocks.

Lifetimes of buildings in Japan

Chihiro Kayo et al.

Summary: This study used the latest data on building stocks and inflows to determine the lifetime function and half-life of wooden and non-wooden buildings in Japan from 1964 to 2020. The log-normal distribution was found to be the most suitable lifetime function for wooden buildings, while a log-normal distribution resembling an exponential distribution was the most suitable for non-wooden buildings. Future research should utilize these results to predict building stock/flow and implement measures to mitigate environmental impacts.

Comparing policy options for carbon ef fi ciency in the wood value chain: Evidence from Austria

Alice Ludvig et al.

Summary: Research shows potential for wood use in combating climate change and increasing carbon stocks, but there are discrepancies in accounting methods and policy tools. By interviewing experts and stakeholders, this study explores solutions to enhance the forest-based sector's contribution to climate change mitigation.

Substitution impacts of wood use at the market level: a systematic review

Elias Hurmekoski et al.

Summary: Wood-based products typically have lower fossil-based emissions over their lifecycle compared to functionally equivalent products made from other materials. However, quantifying the potential impact of large-scale material substitution at the market level remains challenging. Studies show that using wood as a substitute for other materials can reduce emissions, but the specific values are influenced by assumptions and system boundaries, limiting their generalizability.

Climate mitigation forestry-temporal trade-offs

Torbjorn Skytt et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of forest management on climate change mitigation, showing that reduced harvesting levels can provide short-term climate benefits and even moderate reductions would yield substantial climate benefits. The findings highlight the importance of adjusting forest management strategies based on future substitution factors and forest growth for optimal climate outcomes.

Estimating the material stock in wooden residential houses in Finland

Bahareh Nasiri et al.

Summary: The study quantified the amount of wood available for cascading in Finnish residential houses and found that a significant amount of wood is nearing end of life, providing a potential resource for reuse and recycling. Further analysis is needed to effectively utilize the reusable wood, including assessing quality, type, and availability.

Forest management to increase carbon sequestration in boreal Pinus sylvestris forests

Karolina Jorgensen et al.

Summary: The study found that in boreal Pinus sylvestris forest plantations, abstention from thinning can significantly increase carbon (C) stock, while fertilization combined with abstention from thinning further increases C stock and reduces soil respiration rates. Although promising in increasing the C sink of forests, changed forest management practices may have undesired effects on economic revenue, timber quality, biodiversity, and delivery of other ecosystem services.

Sustainability Assessment of Modern High-Rise Timber Buildings

Laura Tupenaite et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the sustainability of modern high-rise timber buildings around the world using multi-criteria assessment methods. It finds that each building has unique strengths in sustainability, with Brock Commons in Canada receiving the highest rank across all dimensions. The research contributes to both theory and practice in sustainability assessment for high-rise timber buildings.
