Featured presentation from Wood at Work 2020: Examines the carbon benefits of timber harvest vs. letting secondary forests grow (in the U.S. vs the tropics) Variability of estimated climate benefit depending on key factors: 1) forest growth rates 2) how much biomass you leave behind after harvest 3) % of timber that goes into long-lived products 4) concrete/steel substitution values RUNNING TIME 8:30 MINUTES
