News Finding: #wood #construction rather than steel/concrete means lower CO2 #emissions &amp; fossil fuel consumption 
Paper Finding: Wood harvested to create the open and savanna structures can be used for construction products and wood energy and to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic fires-all of which save CO 2 and FF.
News Context: #wood #construction rather than steel/concrete means lower CO2 #emissions &amp; fossil fuel consumption 
Paper Context: Maximum forest carbon will not create maximum biodiversity since savanna, open, and dense structures sequester less CO 2 than understory and complex ones. Wood harvested to create the open and savanna structures can be used for construction products and wood energy and to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic fires-all of which save CO 2 and FF. When regrowth after harvest is considered, even wood harvested just for energy (energy pathway) can be more efficient for CO 2 sequestration than not harvesting the forest and using FF for energy.
