Prospective climate change impacts of Swiss forest management and wood utilization strategies by integrating biogenic carbon dynamics

Forest Management and Wood Utilization Scenario Results for Switzerland (2014-2113) This dataset contains annual time-series results from dynamic life cycle assessment of Swiss forest management and wood utilization strategies across five production regions (Jura, Plateau, Pre-Alps, Alps, Southern Alps) and national level. Scenarios included: Forest management: REF (reference) and IH (increased harvest) Wood utilization: BAU (business-as-usual), IM (increased material use), IC (chemical substitution), EL (extended lifetime) Substitution cases: High-impact (best-case) and low-impact (worst-case) substitution assumptions Variables (annual values): harvested_mtco2pa: Annual harvest volume (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) harvested_all_mm3pa: Annual harvest volume (million m³ yr⁻¹) annual_growth_mtco2pa: Annual forest growth (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) above_ground_biomass_mtco2: Above-ground living biomass stock (Mt CO₂) co2_ethylene_bio_mtco2: CO₂ emissions from bio-based ethylene production (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) co2_ethylene_fossil_mtco2: CO₂ emissions from fossil ethylene (substitution reference) (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) co2_heat_wood_mtco2: CO₂ emissions from wood combustion for heat (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) co2_heat_fossil_mtco2: CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel heating (substitution reference) (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) co2_material_wood_mtco2: CO₂ emissions from wood-based materials production (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) co2_material_non_wood_mtco2: CO₂ emissions from non-wood materials (substitution reference) (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) nep_above_mtco2pa: Net ecosystem productivity - aboveground (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) nep_below_mtco2pa: Net ecosystem productivity - belowground (soil, litter, deadwood) (Mt CO₂ yr⁻¹) radiative_forcing_wpm2: Instantaneous radiative forcing (W m⁻²) Data structure: One row per year (2014-2113), region, and scenario combination Positive values indicate emissions; negative values indicate sequestration or substitution credits Data generated using MASSIMO forest model, YASSO07 soil model, and prospective LCA with brightway / premise
