A synthesis of climate change mitigation options based on regional case studies of the North American forest sector using a harmonized modeling approach / C.E. Smyth, A.J. Dugan, M. Olguin, R. Birdsey,...: Fo4-145/2020E-PDF

"Managing forests and forest products to help mitigate climate change was quantified in three coordinated studies involving six regions within North America. Each country-specific study examined several mitigation scenarios in a comparative analysis, using harmonized tools with site-specific data and a systems approach that included forest ecosystem, harvested wood products, and substitution benefits relative to a forward-looking baseline. Here we synthesized the North American case studies by comparing normalized annual mitigation potential (net change in emissions and removals relative to the baseline), and examined differences in ecosystems and drivers that affected the ranking of mitigation activities"--Abstract, page 4.
