Regional carbon dioxide implications of forest bioenergy production

Creator:

Hudiburg, Tara, Law, Beverly, Wirth, Christian, and Luyssaert, Sebastiaan

Abstract:

Mitigation strategies for reducing CO2 emissions include substitution of fossil fuel with bioenergy from forests, where carbon emitted is expected to be re-captured in the growth of new biomass to achieve zero net emissions, and forest thinning to reduce wildfire emissions. Here we use forest inventory data to show that...

Thinning effects on forest productivity: Consequences of preserving old forests and mitigating impacts of fire and drought

Creator:

Law, Beverly E., Hudiburg, Tara W., and Luyssaert, Sebastiaan

Abstract:

Background: Management strategies have been proposed to minimise the effects of climate change on forest resilience. Aims: We investigated the Pacific Northwest US region forest carbon balance under current practices, and changes that may result from management practices proposed for the region’s 34 million ha of forests to mitigate climate...
