Environmental implications of harvesting lower-value biomass in forests

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Lower-value biomass (LVB) in forests constitutes non-commercial material traditionally left on site following harvesting. Emerging markets for energy and bioproducts have increased incentives to harvest and utilize this material in some cases. Removal of LVB can reduce forest health risks stemming from wildfire, diseases, and pests but has raised questions about effects on forest productivity and environmental sus...
