Forest Carbon Sequestration

There is a continuing debate over the role that woody bioenergy plays in climate mitigation. This paper clarifies this controversy and illustrates the impacts of woody biomass demand on forest harvests, prices, timber management investments and intensity, forest area, and the resulting carbon balance under different climate mitigation policies. Increased bioenergy demand increases forest carbon stocks thanks to afforestation activities and more intensive management relative to a no-bioenergy case. Some natural forests, however, are converted to more intensive management, with potential biodiversity losses. Incentivizing both wood-based bioenergy and forest sequestration could increase carbon sequestration and conserve natural forests simultaneously. We conclude that the expanded use of wood for bioenergy will result in net carbon benefits, but an efficient policy also needs to regulate forest carbon sequestration.

From a greenhouse gas policy standpoint, forests play an extremely important role in the exchange of carbon dioxide between the land and atmosphere. Because forest management has a potentially large effect on the entire forest carbon (C) cycle, and the biological and industrial systems are tightly coupled in the North region of China, simulation of varying management and forest product production scenarios are needed to explore trade-offs of managing forests for multiple objectives. Thus, an important consideration in management of forests is their present and future capacity to sequester C from the atmosphere. In this paper, C balance of the biological system was simulated under different management scenarios that were designed to test effects of plant configuration.
