...…and provide a steady output of biomass for bioenergy and other forest products, resulting in continuous fossil substitution benefits also when the sink strength of the forest eventually saturates (Canadell & Raupach, 2008; Ciais et al., 2008; Lundmark et al., 2014; Nabuurs et al., 2007, 2013)....

...…disturbance may be preferable to intensive man- agement for wood output, while harvest of other mature forests that are at high risk of disturbance and have low productivity may be the best option, although involving an initial period (decades) of net losses in forest carbon (Nabuurs et al., 2013)....

...Intensive forest management activities of the early- to mid-20th century as well as other factors such as recov- ery from past overuse, have led to strong forest C-sinks in many OECD regions (Erb et al., 2013; Loudermilk et al., 2013; Nabuurs et al., 2013; Pan et al., 2011)....
