[Iesaf_palouse] SAF April 17th Meeting

[Kimsey, Mark]

Palouse-Snake River SAF Chapter Meeting

 

TITLE:  Forest Sector Carbon Sequestration Strategies & Market
Development

 

OVERVIEW: The U.S. forest sector (forest management and wood products
manufacturing) 

sequesters enough carbon each year to offset 10% of the nation's carbon
dioxide (CO2) 

emissions. Managing forests to uptake and store more atmospheric carbon
adds another 

dimension to the enduring question, when should trees be cut? The
presentation will summarize

 results from a new University of Idaho policy Issue Brief on "Carbon
Management Strategies in 

the Forest Sector" and provide a reply to the question, do forests
harvested periodically for 

wood products manufacturing sequester more carbon than old growth
forests? The Issue Brief 

is available online at
http://www.cnrhome.uidaho.edu/default.aspx?pid=106665 

 

PRESENTED BY: Dr. Jay O'Laughlin and Dr. Darek Nalle, University of
