A Case For How Carbon Markets Are Failing Southern Tree Farmers

Saturday, October 28, 2023
10:50am - 10:58am PST
Location: A11
Carbon markets that exclude stored carbon in wood products may result in less atmospheric carbon removal by forests than if products are included. We compare carbon storage outcomes from rotations that maximize LEV, MAI, carbon storage in living trees, and carbon in stand plus products.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be familiar with carbon market opportunities for stored carbon.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the carbon benefits of payment schemes that include accounting for carbon storage in products.
