This study evaluates long-term forest-sector mitigation and radiative forcing under various management, climate, and substitution scenarios over 285 years, finding that mitigation efficiency depends on emissions timing, duration, and substitution factors.

The paper introduces the Global Canopy Atlas, a harmonized dataset of 3D canopy structure from ALS data, and demonstrates its applications in validating satellite maps, analyzing canopy gap patterns, and quantifying forest turnover.

TimberTracer evaluates carbon sequestration in forest management and wood product substitution, finding selective thinning and improved recycling/lifespan increase as optimal strategies.
