Table 1 Total carbon emissions, total carbon stabilized and net carbon emissions over one year from forest treatment considering three fates of harvested biomass: no biomass stabilized (business-as-usual scenario), merchantable timber stabilized in durable goods, and use of woody biomass in bioenergy production

From: Short and long-term carbon balance of bioenergy electricity production fueled by forest treatments
