Forests and Forest Sector Climate Change Mitigation
Session ID#: 75152
Session Description:
Forests play a crucial role in the global budget of greenhouse gases, and many countries have included land sector initiatives to contribute to emissions reductions commitments. Forest ecosystems can provide net negative emissions-also known as carbon dioxide removal--by removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing C in biomass, soil, products, and landfills. Forest ecosystem C dynamics are directly affected by increasing atmospheric CO2 levels and by climate change, and the impact of environmentally sensitive growth and mortality on mitigation activities is an area of emerging research. Net reductions in emissions can also occur through the use of wood and bioenergy to meet societiesâ demands and avoiding the use of higher emissions products or fossil energy, alongside carbon removal technologies like carbon capture and sequestration. This session invites contributions that examine climate change mitigation activities for forest management and wood-use, with a focus on landscape-level spatial scales and mid-century timeframes.
