| Description: | Increasing the share of produced wood yielded with Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) practices instead of conventional logging practices. |
| Reference: | PBL, 2010; |
| Is implemented in: | Forest management |
| Associated theme items: | Forestry (Land use) |
Associated policy response component
Component: Land and biodiversity policies
Page: Land and biodiversity policies/Forestry sector
Effects of this policy intervention on components
Component: Forest management
Effect : RIL leads to lower loss of biodiversity in forest areas, and it can have impacts on C pools and fluxes as less residues are produced per unit harvested wood product.
Component: Carbon cycle and natural vegetation
Effect : RIL can change the volume of the C pools in the soil and vegetation pools and reduces the human induced land-use change emissions.
Component: Terrestrial biodiversity
Effect : The impacts on biodiversity is lower using RIL practices instead of the conventional practices. This because (i) less forets will be used (higher biodiversity on large scale); (ii) a better and faster regrowth of the harvested forests, also thus a long-term increasing biodiversity also within these forests.
