Forest Carbon Storage No Silver Bullet for Climate Change, Paper Warns

As concerns about climate change grow, many have looked to forests as a possible solution. Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide from the air, and efforts to store more carbon in forests have been promoted as “nature-based” climate solutions. In fact, it is common for...

How Forests Can Help Fight Climate Change

A 2016 study looked at how managing forests in Sweden can help reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. While the research focused on Swedish boreal forests, it was noted that the conclusions are applicable to other forested biomes with a large proportion...

Forests, Wood, and Climate: How Forest Products Help Cut Carbon Emissions

A 2006 study published in Wood and Fiber Science explored how forest products play a critical role in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. The research examined how carbon moves through three key areas: forests, wood products, and the fossil fuels...

Study Shows Growing Forests Help Fight Climate Change

A recent study revealed the significant impact of forest management on reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. Researchers found that while growing forests initially absorb CO2, simply allowing forests to grow without harvesting them is not a sustainable...
