The Role of Forests in Climate Change Mitigation: The EU Context
The European Union (EU) aims at reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. Within the land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sector, forestry will contribute to this target with CO2 sink,…
Significance of Agriculture for Bioeconomy in the Member States of the European Union
Bioeconomy is a response of the European Union and its member states to global challenges such as ensuring food security, mandatory sustainable management of natural resources, mitigating climate…
From Paris to Switzerland: Four Pathways to a Forest Reference Level
Introduction: Among terrestrial ecosystems, forests represent large carbon stocks threatened by changing climatic conditions, deforestation, overexploitation, and forest degradation. Close to nature…
Nordic forest management towards climate change mitigation: time dynamic temperature change impacts of wood product systems including substitution effects
Climate change mitigation trade-offs between increasing harvests to exploit substitution effects versus accumulating forest carbon sequestration complicate recommendations for climate beneficial…
The economics of forest bioeconomy: new results
We examine the emerging forest bioeconomy as an integrated multi-product industrial ecosystem, where the traditional pulp mills allocate the use of side streams to independent biochemical companies…
Supplementary material to "The European forest Carbon budget under future climate conditions and current management practices"
Abstract. To become carbon neutral by 2050, the European Union (EU27) net carbon sink from forests should increase from the current level of about −360 Mt CO2e yr−1 to −450 Mt CO2e yr−1 by 2050.…
Improved modelling framework for assessing the interactions between the energy, agriculture, forestry and land use change sectors: Integrating the CAPRI, LUISA-BEES, CBM and POTEnCIA models
This report is an attempt to develop a modelling framework integrating different sectoral stand-alone models used at the JRC for policy impact assessment in the fields of agriculture, forestry, land…
Trends in Synthetic Biology in the Bioeconomy of Non-food-Competing Biofuels
TLDR
This work mapped the SB scientific knowledge related to biofuels using software that combines information visualization methods, bibliometrics, and data mining algorithms to identify the global evolution of investments, concepts, and techniques underlying the field in support of policy formulations for sustainable bioenergy production.

Contribution of forest wood products to negative emissions: historical comparative analysis from 1960 to 2015 in Norway, Sweden and Finland
TLDR
It is argued for a more explicit accounting of the actual emission rates from HWPs in carbon balance studies and climate impact analysis of forestry systems and products, and a more transparent inclusion of the potential of HWP as negative emissions in perspective studies and scenarios.
Modelling forest carbon stock changes as affected by harvest and natural disturbances. II. EU-level analysis
TLDR
This study presents the application of a consistent methodological approach, based on an inventory-based model, adapted to the forest management conditions of EU countries, and captures, with satisfactory detail, the C sink reported in the EU GHGI and the country-specific variability due to harvest, natural disturbances and land-use changes.
