Incorrect data sustain the claim of forest‐based bioenergy being more effective in climate change mitigation than forest conservation

The urgent need for effective solutions to climate change accelerates and upscales the debate on the ongoing role of forest ecosystems and the impact of forest‐based bioenergy on carbon sequestration. [...]the regional mitigation potential of managed forests would be about 10 times higher in compari...

Description
Summary:The urgent need for effective solutions to climate change accelerates and upscales the debate on the ongoing role of forest ecosystems and the impact of forest‐based bioenergy on carbon sequestration. [...]the regional mitigation potential of managed forests would be about 10 times higher in comparison to unused forests. [...]the mean stock volume measured in 2010 was considerably influenced by low volumes of the additionally surveyed sample points which were located in early succession pioneer forest areas (Nationalparkverwaltung Hainich (Hrsg.), 2012, p.58).
