Rayonier Sustainability Report: Carbon Storage in Forest Products
Rayonier Sustainability Report: Carbon Storage in Forest Products
The carbon storage benefits of Rayonier's forests continue even after trees are harvested, as carbon can remain stored for many decades within the end-use forest products made from such trees, including lumber, plywood, and engineered wood products.NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 31, 2024 / Rayonier

When we harvest our trees, we remove a portion of the carbon contained in our forests. After our trees are harvested, we then replant our forests and start the process of growing trees and sequestering carbon all over again.
当我们收割树木时，我们取出了森林中含有的一部分碳。在我们收割树木之后，我们会重新种植树木，并开始重新生长树木和固定碳的过程。

Rayonier的森林的碳储存益处甚至在树木被砍伐后仍然持续存在，因为碳可以在由此类树木制成的最终用途的森林产品中存储数十年，包括木材、胶合板和工程木材制品。
As part of our carbon footprint analysis, we have estimated our 2022 harvest volumes by product and destination, as well as the resulting long-term storage benefits by category. The above chart illustrates the life cycle of carbon that remains stored in end-use forest products after the timber has left our forests based on the estimated half-life of the carbon stored in the various products made from our timber. This analysis is based on 2022 harvest activity and does not reflect the incremental benefit of successive rotation cycles. For more information on carbon storage over multiple rotation cycles, see our Carbon Report.
作为我们的碳足迹分析的一部分，我们已经估计了我们2022年的产品和目的地收获量，以及分类别的长期储存益处。上图说明了在我们的木材离开我们的森林后，仍存储在最终用途的森林产品中的碳的生命周期，基于存储在我们的木材中各种产品中的碳的半衰期的估计。该分析基于2022年的收获活动，不反映连续轮换周期的增量效益。有关多个轮换周期的碳储存的更多信息，请参见我们的碳报告。
In the softwood timber-growing regions where we operate, the sustainable practice of harvesting and replanting trees results in a higher level of carbon sequestration versus simply letting the trees grow naturally-primarily due to the storage of carbon in end-use forest products.
我们所经营的软木材种植区域，通过可持续地砍伐和重新植树的实践，与让树木自然生长相比，会导致更高水平的碳固定，主要是由于最终用途森林产品中的碳储存。
The above graph compares two alternative scenarios of carbon storage in our forests and harvested wood products over a 100-year timeframe. One scenario assumes we plant, do not manage intensively, and do not harvest. The other scenario assumes multiple rotations-whereby we plant, manage intensively, and harvest every 25 years for loblolly and slash pine in the U.S. South.
上图比较了在100年时间范围内我们的森林和被收获的木材制品中的碳存储的两个替代情景。一个情景假定我们种植不进行强化管理和不进行收获。另一个情景假定多次轮换，即我们在美国南部种植，进行强化管理，并在每25年收获loblolly和slash松。
