Understanding the flow of carbon in wood products is essential to develop effective land- and bioproduct-based mitigation strategies. We performed detailed modeling of carbon in harvested wood products from loblolly pine to understand how changes in forest management and product flow affect carbon storage and emissions over time.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to list the types of pine logs harvested in the southern US and describe the carbon stoarge potential of each log type, including the timing of transition from product carbon to atmospheric carbon.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the effects of site index and rotation length on loblolly pine total forest (in situ + ex situ) carbon storage from four tested scenarios.
Upon completion, participants will be able to list common wood products manufactured from different types of southern pine logs and describe how the flow of mill residues affect the product mix generated from each log type.
