The timber demand in a region is the sum of local/regional demands and timber claims by other regions. The trade assumptions are adopted from external models, limiting the application of the model for cases with regional timber scarcity (which will change the total demand in a region). | The timber demand in a region is the sum of local/regional demands and timber claims by other regions.

The only driver of deforestation modelled in IMAGE 3.0 is the net expansion of | |||
agriculture per region. Many drivers of deforestation are not related to agricultural | |||
expansion, but there is no global assessment of these other drivers. Therefore, total | |||
deforestation rates are calibrated in IMAGE. Drivers and extent of deforestation are very | |||
uncertain and subject to debate, yet determine future deforestation and deforestation | |||
emissions in scenario simulations. | |||
