Aspen (Populus tremula L.) represents an important resource in France as far as standing wood is concerned. It often remains used for the manufacturing of pulpwood and fuelwood because no physico-chemical properties have been established. To date, PANIBOIS has used this species for manufacturing...

As disturbances can destabilize the wood market, we conducted a survey among 44 small, medium and large sawmills in Switzerland as a first step to understand how the sawmills absorb unplanned timber volumes. The running of the daily business and the storage capacity were the most impacted after an...

Pterocarpus erinaceus (P. erinaceus) is an eminently useful species to people. This study aimed to contribute to a better knowledge of vene wood in Côte d'Ivoire. To do this, ethnobotanical surveys were conducted among the populations of ten localities in the rural area of Bêoumi and the outskirts...

Timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) play an important role for the well-being of the populations in Cameroon. Unfortunately, they face several threats such as the commercial exploitation of the resource and the uncontrolled exploitation of timber; the lack or insufficiency of scientific...

Article 4 of the UNFCCC recalls the main commitments of the parties, taking into account their common but differentiated responsibilities and the specificity of their development priorities, objectives and circumstances. At a time when Central African countries are busy revising their NDCs as part...

We developed a scaling method for estimating the woody volume of pruned ash tree branches. Pruned ash trees yield large amounts of wood, even more than freely growing trees. For example, in the Massif Central, a line of pruned ash trees can produce 20 m³ of wood chips per km per year. They can be...

This is the 71st issue of the FAO Yearbook of Forest Products. The yearbook contains annual data on the production and trade in forest products, including: roundwood; wood charcoal, chips and particles, residues, pellets and other agglomerates; sawnwood and veneer sheets; wood-based panels; pulp...

More than a quarter of deforestation (27%) is caused by a change in land use due to the production of commodities (Curtis et al. 2018). Estimates of rainforest loss attributed to the advancement of crops, pastures and forest plantations range from 62-80% (Pendrill et al. 2019; Hosonuma et al....

This paper discusses the diameter and volume of softwood at harvest in France. The paper describes the sawmilling of average and large diameter timber, as well as the supply and demand for sawnwood in the country. Finally, the paper also explores the manufacture and utilization of wood pulp and...
