Brent Sohngen ([email protected]) Part I: Good modeling matters, bad modeling matters more. A recent article by Peng et al. (2023) called "The carbon cost of global wood harvests" published July 5, 2023 in Nature, suggested that economic models are not up to the task of measuring carbon emissions from wood product harvesting. Brent Sohngen Professor, Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics Dr. Sohngen developed a global forest and land use model that has been widely used to assess the implications of climate change on ecosystems and markets, and to assess the costs of carbon sequestration in forests. He co-authored sections of the Brent Sohngen via Crossref Metadata Search Evidence that a national REDD+ program reduces tree cover loss and carbon emissions in a high forest cover, low deforestation country. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Journal article DOI: 10.1073/pnas Suk-won Choi, Sara Ohrel, and Brent Sohngen Introduction There is widespread research showing that forestry can be a cost effective method to reduce global carbon emissions (Sohngen & Mendelsohn, 2007; Kindermann et al, 2008; Madeira, 2008). As a result there are efforts to implement policies that would slow deforestation Dr. Brent Sohngen professor Ohio State University room 322 [email protected] 614-688-4640 (ph) 614-292-0078 (fx) Biography Biography not provided.
