Abstract

Key message: We investigate the flux balance of managed and protected forests and the effects of using wood.Flux parameters of CO2 uptake and respiration do not differ between managed and protected forests.Accounting of harvest as immediate emission by IPCC guidelines results in a bias of forest climate mitigation towards storage and neglects the avoidance of fossil-fuel use by wood use.
