The objective of the study was to outline a global scheme for furthering mitigation of climate change in the Managed Forest subsector of the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry sector. The core of the study is an analysis of the emissions associated with the start-up of steady-state utilization of previously unutilized forest areas. Example forest growth curves are employed to demonstrate the dependence of the start-up emissions on the forest characteristics. In the case of fiber production, the start-up leads to an effective step-like increase in cumulative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission. In the case of biofuel production, a significant level of CO₂ removal is attainable in the longer term, but, because of the start-up emission, there is usually an initial period of effective CO₂ emission. The duration of this initial period has a strong dependence on the growth rate of the forest and the type of fossil fuel replaced. The results of the analysis were exploited in the compilation of a proposal for a global scheme aimed at mitigating climate change without unduly constraining forest utilization. In the scheme, increased forest utilization for the production of solid-wood products and fiber products would be penalized on the basis of the consumption of such products, while, in certain cases, increased forest utilization for biofuel production would be rewarded. Acceptable biofuel options were identified in the study. An example is the replacement of coal by wood chips originating from forest which has a growth rate at least as great as that of a typical boreal forest.

全球森林利用战略：在不过度限制利用的前提下缓解气候变化

该研究的目的是概述一个全球计划，以进一步缓解土地利用，土地利用变化和林业部门的可管理森林分部门的气候变化。该研究的核心是对与以前未利用的森林地区的稳态利用的启动有关的排放进行分析。示例性的森林生长曲线用于说明启动排放量对森林特征的依赖性。在生产纤维的情况下，启动会导致累积二氧化碳（CO ₂）排放的有效阶梯状增加。就生物燃料生产而言，从长远来看可以实现相当大程度的CO ₂去除，但是由于启动排放，通常会有一个有效CO的初期阶段。₂发射。这个初始时期的持续时间强烈依赖于森林的生长速度和所替代的化石燃料的类型。分析结果被用于旨在减少气候变化而不过度限制森林利用的全球计划提案的汇编中。在该计划中，根据实木木制品和纤维制品的消费量增加森林利用量将受到惩罚，而在某些情况下，将奖励增加森林用于生物燃料生产的利用量。在研究中确定了可接受的生物燃料选择。一个例子是用源自森林的木片代替煤，该木片的生长速度至少与典型的北方森林一样高。
