There is currently a shift from petrochemical to bio-based plastics (bioplastics). The
application of comprehensive and appropriately designed LCA studies are imperative to …

Purpose Biological sequestration can increase the carbon stocks of non-atmospheric
reservoirs (eg land and land-based products). Since this contained carbon is sequestered …

Nature-based climate solutions can contribute to climate mitigation, but the vulnerability of
land carbon to disturbances means that efforts to slow or reverse land carbon loss could …

The lack of temporal information is an important limitation of life cycle assessment (LCA). A
dynamic LCA approach is proposed to improve the accuracy of LCA by addressing the …

Background Recent increases in forest tree mortality should increase the abundance coarse
woody detritus (CWD) and ultimately lead to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide …

An area of forest the size of England is cut down in the tropics each year. Forestry is
responsible for a fifth of global carbon emissions-more than the entire world transport sector …

Although climate change has become the dominant concern of the twenty-first century,
global powers refuse to implement the changes necessary to reverse these trends. Instead …

Purpose Case studies on life cycle assessments frequently admit that the precision of their
outcome could be undermined due to temporal issues, though they usually refrain from …

It is unclear how much carbon should be stored in temporary and risky offsets to compensate
one ton of CO2 emissions. Here we cast the social value of an offset (SVO), measured in …

Carbon and Nitrogen in the Terrestrial Environment is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary
description of C and N fluxes between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere; issues …
