However, automation will not be necessary where operations can be sustainably handled manually. Valuation of forests and tracking of wood during transport. Combination of spatial data on tree growth, yield, and environmental conditions to create growth and yield models for future management. ...
Spain is forecast to install 3.5-4 GW/year of new capacity in the next five years, according to SolarPower Europe. Wood Mackenzie predicts 20 GW of new capacity will come online between 2019 and 2024, mostly utility-scale. ...

And the forest sector uses the Forest Source Document system (Documento de Origem Florestal, DOF), a sophisticated electronic system to track the wood flow throughout the supply chain. Despite these positive steps, illegal logging and associated trade in the Amazon continues. Beyond the negative social and environmental impacts, illegal logging poses a serious ...
These supply chains were selected because they involve small forest community cooperatives that, compared with industrial operations, have a lower capacity to respond to market requirements for legal wood, including the U.S. Lacey Act.

This study then used two approaches to analyse wood waste arising in the UK. Firstly a bottom up ...
For instance, support for sustainable development policies and measures could help countries with NAMAs to clarify land tenure, build firefighting capabilities, or track the legality of wood products for REDD. The governments of both developed and developing countries could take complementary actions that are not related to managing their own forests. ...
To achieve this objective, the fluxes of wood removed from the forest are tracked through its life cycle, which includes products manufacture (mainly pulp and paper), use and final disposal (landfilling, incineration and composting). This study develops a framework to the estimation of carbon sequestration in the forest of E. globulus, a fast growing species, ...
