  • A new method for the timber tracing toolbox

    Open AccessLaura E Boeschoten, Mart Vlam et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    To effectively reduce illegal timber trade, law enforcers need forensic methods to independently verify claims of wood origin. Multi-element analysis of traded plant material has the potential to be used to trace the origin of commodities, but for timber it has not been tested at relevant large scales. Here we put this method to the test, by evaluating its tracing accuracy for three economically important tropical timbers: Azobé and Tali in Centr…

  • An Assessment of Soil Phytolith Analysis as a Palaeoecological Tool for Identifying Pre-Columbian Land Use in Amazonian Rainforests

    Open AccessJames Hill, Stuart Black et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2023Cited by: 1References: 45

    Phytolith analysis is a well-established archaeobotanical tool, having provided important insights into pre-Columbian crop cultivation and domestication across Amazonia through the Holocene. Yet, its use as a palaeoecological tool is in its infancy in Amazonia and its effectiveness for reconstructing pre-Columbian land-use beyond archaeological sites (i.e., ‘off-site’) has so far received little critical attention. This paper examines both new an…

  • Isotopic Characterization of Cedrela to Verify Species and Regional Provenance of Bolivian Timber

    Kathelyn Paredes-Villanueva, Arnoud Boom et al.ARTICLETree-Ring Research2022

    With increasing concerns about sustainable exploitation of tropical timber, there is a need for developing independent tools to check their origin. We evaluated the potential of tree-ring stable isotopes for identifying four Cedrela species (C. balansae, C. fissilis, C. odorata, and C. saltensis) and for identifying geographic origin of C. fissilis and C. odorata, two of the most intensively exploited species. We studied differences in δ13C and δ…

  • The life cycle carbon balance of selective logging in tropical forests of Costa Rica

    Open AccessFederico E Alice‐Guier, Godefridus M J Mohren et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2020

    The effect of logging on atmospheric carbon concentrations remains highly contested, especially in the tropics where it is associated to forest degradation. To contribute to this discussion, we estimated the carbon balance from logging natural tropical forests in Costa Rica through a life cycle accounting approach. Our system included all major life cycle processes at a regional level during one rotation period (15 years). We used mass flow analy…
