A Framework for Quantifying Climate Outcomes of Beetle-Killed Forest Biomass Utilization

J Field, B Bagdon, T Nguyen, A Vorster… - Life Cycle Assessment …, 2018 - eprints.qut.edu.au
Unprecedented bark beetle outbreaks have caused widespread mortality in forests across
the Rocky Mountains. While there is great interest in harvesting beetle-killed trees for
producing bioenergy and bioproducts, the climate impacts of doing so are still poorly
understood. Here we present a framework for quantifying and synthesizing those climate
impacts across both the ecosphere (forest stand carbon balance) and the technosphere
(biomass supply chain and conversion). We describe the calibration and use of the Forest …
