Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This document provides technical information on estimating, reporting and accounting of harvested wood products. It contains a set of definitions relating to wood products, global data on stocks and trade of wood products and descriptions of methodologies for estimating and measuring carbon stocks contained in these products. It also describes the socio-economic and environmental impacts of different approaches for accounting. Each approach is analysed with regard to the implications of accounting of emissions and removals on prices, demand and supply of wood products, bioenergy, recycling, selected social variables, the environment, incentives created for sustainable forest management, and the emission-limitation targets under the Kyoto Protocol. Examples of the possible effects of different approaches on national greenhouse gas emissions and removals in selected countries are also provided."--Summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing the amount of carbon stored in harvested wood products (HWPs) is an internationally recognized measure to mitigate climate change. Several approaches and tiers of methods may be used to analyze the contribution of HWP in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and removals at a regional and national level. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides guidelines on three tiers of methods for estimating annual carbon stock changes in the carbon pool of HWPs. These tiers mostly differ by the availability of input data and the level of HWP aggregation. In this case study for the Czech Republic, we have applied the production approach and alternative tiers of accounting methods, which are described in the IPCC guidelines, including the default method (tier 2) and the most advanced method (tier 3). We used country-specific data and material flow analysis to trace the carbon flow over the entire forest-based sector, including only the domestic harvest and the primary and secondary wood products manufactured within the country. The results of this study show that the carbon stored in the HWP pool could be underestimated if simpler methods and default values nonspecific to the country are applied. At the national level, applying the tier 3 method resulted in a 15.8% higher annual carbon inflow in the pool of HWPs compared to the tier 2 IPCC default method. This means that the advanced method reveals an apparently higher carbon sink in HWPs. A documented increase of carbon storage might bring additional credits to reporting countries, and, more important, it could promote the use of long-life HWPs to mitigate climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the Forest Service's Timber Sale Program Information Reporting System (TSPIRS). GAO found that: (1) overall, the Service continued to make progress in testing and implementing TSPIRS; (2) TSPIRS accounting for road costs was consistent with the basic system design outlined in a GAO report and was appropriate for cost accounting purposes, but alternative methods existed; (3) TSPIRS correctly reported timber sales costs; (4) a consultant suggested that the Service calculate timber growth costs using historic harvest volumes, rather than a theoretical estimate, in order to better match growth costs with the timber actually harvested; (5) TSPIRS reports included all significant timber sales costs directly related to timber growth and harvest; and (6) TSPIRS economic analysis reports were consistent with normal reporting of economic estimates and may be most useful at the forest, rather than regional, level.
