Open AccessJakob Derks, Dennis Roitsch et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2026
The recent decade has seen academic and policy initiatives aiming to restore European nature and forests. Whether this caters to what Europeans expect and prefer has not been studied on a continental scale. Using a representative pan-European survey, this study assesses the importance people place on Forest Ecosystem Services (FES) and their landscape preferences, the latter drawing on a small series of illustrations representing a gradient from …
The enduring world forest carbon sink
Open AccessYude Pan, Richard A Birdsey et al.ARTICLENature2024
The uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) by terrestrial ecosystems is critical for moderating climate change1. To provide a ground-based long-term assessment of the contribution of forests to terrestrial CO2 uptake, we synthesized in situ forest data from boreal, temperate and tropical biomes spanning three decades. We found that the carbon sink in global forests was steady, at 3.6 ± 0.4 Pg C yr−1 in the 1990s and 2000s, and 3.5 ± 0.4 Pg C yr−1 in the …
Preliminary evidence of softwood shortage and hardwood availability in EU regions
Open AccessNicola Bozzolan, Godefridus M J Mohren et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2024References: 2
As the overall demand for wood-based products continues to grow, questions arise on how local wood resources and industry characteristics can effectively meet this growing demand. In the European Union (EU) 550 million m 3 of wood is harvested annually, and is to a large extent processed by the wood industry. Little is known about the interplay between industrial capacity and the regional availability of timber resources. We compared the capaciti…

Roadmap to develop a stress test for forest ecosystem services supply
Open AccessK Kramer, Laura Bouriaud et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022
Forests play a key role in a bio-based economy by providing renewable materials, mitigating climate change, and accommodating biodiversity. However, forests experience massive increases in stresses in their ecological and socioeconomic environments, threatening forest ecosystem services supply. Alleviating those stresses is hampered by conflicting and disconnected governance arrangements, competing interests and claims, and rapid changes in techn…

Biofuel burning and human respiration bias on satellite estimates of fossil fuel CO 2 emissions
Open AccessPhilippe Ciais, Yilong Wang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020
The satellites that have been designed to support the monitoring of fossil fuel CO 2 emissions aim to systematically measure atmospheric CO 2 plumes generated by intense emissions from large cities, power plants and industrial sites. These data can be assimilated into atmospheric transport models in order to estimate the corresponding emissions. However, plumes emitted by cities and powerplants contain not only fossil fuel CO 2 but also significa…
Climate-Smart Forestry
Open AccessPieter Johannes Verkerk, R Costanza et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2020Cited by: 7References: 2
To achieve the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement, a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions is needed, as well as increased removals by carbon sinks. In this context, we argue that Climate-Smart Forestry is a necessary, but still missing component in national strategies for implementing actions under the Paris Agreement. Climate-Smart Forestry is needed to (a) increase the total forest area and avoid deforestation, (b) connect m…
