Forest Products for Carbon Sequestration

The use of forest products for carbon sequestration is an important strategy in combating climate change. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, storing it in their biomass. When trees are harvested for wood products, this carbon remains locked away, preventing it from being released back into the atmosphere.

This carbon sequestration process helps to offset carbon emissions from other sources, making forests a valuable tool in the fight against climate change. Sustainable forest management practices can enhance this effect, ensuring that forests continue to act as carbon sinks for years to come.
