LCA Studies in Forestry – Stagnation or Progress?
Today, LCA is one of the leading and most used tools for environmental management, but the application of LCA in forestry is still in an initial phase. Due to a high amount of different wood products which can be produced in forestry sector, production of raw material itself is not included enough in the whole LCA process. Raw wood products and biomass used to be widely declared as »carbon neutral« and renewable, but production steps have a significant influence on the environmental impact depending on machinery used, opening forest with new roads, management type (clear-cut, even-aged management or selective cut), etc. This paper gives a review of LCA studies in forestry based on three segments: - harvesting operations - biomass for energy - road construction and maintenance.
