Summary/Abstract
USDA’s 2016 report outlines a set of “building blocks” to help farmers, ranchers, forestland owners, and rural communities reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration, including tools for private forest growth and retention, stewardship of federal forests, promotion of wood products, and urban forests. The report details how harvested wood products can be deployed in place of carbon-intensive concrete, steel, and aluminum products in residential, non-residential, and high-rise construction.
