Forest Products - Resources for the Future Forest Products Whether as part of construction projects or renewable energy portfolios, wood products and markets remain a crucial component of economic growth across the globe Research at RFF integrates land use, conservation, monitoring, and climate change considerations when analyzing the range of policies that govern timber product markets
Forest Carbon 201: Land Use Effects of Wood Product Markets The wood products industry strongly influences the amount and structure of forests in the United States, especially on private lands This explainer reviews how markets for durable wood products in the United States alter land uses and carbon sinks in the built environment and forests It provides an overview of the opportunities for maintaining forest land and expanding the carbon sink
Forest Bioenergy 101: Generation and Emissions Forest bioenergy describes the energy generated from the combustion of wood and wood wastes or biofuels derived from wood Woody material can be sourced from harvested trees or from forest biomass that would otherwise have been treated as waste—residues from a harvest, production of other wood products, or from urban waste streams
Can Market Incentives for Wood Products Help Scale Wildfire Risk . . . The wildfire crisis in the western United States arises from the confluence of climate change, land-use patterns, and dense forest conditions Federal land managers have responded by focusing management on reducing the density of forest vegetation and encouraging fire resilience through fuel treatments, including mechanical fuel treatments that remove woody biomass, often coupled with piling
A Comparative Analysis of Forest Harvesting, Timber Supply, and Tree . . . Abstract Much of the United States is heavily forested, and these forests support the world’s largest and most diverse wood products sector while providing several other ecosystem services Forest management in the form of timber harvesting and reforestation determines the overall sustainability of all service values We use remeasured forest inventory plots to define harvest rates and
Tree Planting as Climate Policy? - rff. org The Trillion Tree Initiative and related congressional actions seek to expand the area of forest and the carbon mitigation benefits they can provide through sequestration of atmospheric carbon in standing forests and wood products In the United States, forest area has increased over time as private sector investment has offset the loss of forests to urban growth with forest establishment on

Much of the United States is heavily forested, and these forests support the world’s largest and most diverse wood products sector while providing several other ecosystem services Forest management in the form of timber harvesting and reforestation determines the overall sustainability of all service values We use remeasured forest inventory plots to define harvest rates and intensities
Effects of Wood Products Markets and Forest Policies on Land Use Change Wood products markets influence returns to forest land uses, and policies targeting these markets in the could influence land use outcomes, with important implications for timber scarcity and conservation in the US South
Toward Globalization of the Forest Products Industry: Some Trends When forest production was exclusively dependent on harvesting natural timber stands—and given that wood is a low-value, high-volume resource that requires substantial transportation costs— initial processing, including the production of pulp, lumber, and panels, usually was undertaken close to the forest resource and the processed products
