日本語
本論文は、森林を静的な炭素ストックとして捉える従来の枠組みを批判し、動的な炭素固定システムとして再定義する。持続可能な木材利用が炭素の滞留時間を延ばし、森林の気候的役割を補完しうると主張する。
English
This paper challenges the static view of forests as mere carbon stocks, presenting them as dynamic systems that continuously fix CO2. It argues that sustainable timber use for durable products can extend biogenic carbon residence time and complement in-situ sequestration, provided deforestation is avoided.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では森林吸収源がカーボンニュートラル目標に貢献しており、木材利用の炭素循環を正確に評価することは、国産材活用とCO2削減の両立に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, this perspective aligns with discussions on carbon accounting in land-use sectors and the role of harvested wood products in climate mitigation, relevant to IPCC and national GHG inventories.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Offers a theoretical framework for integrating timber use into carbon cycle models, useful for carbon accounting research.
🏢実務担当者:Provides rationale for promoting long-lived wood products as part of corporate carbon management, but no direct implementation guidance.
🏛政策担当者:Challenges simplistic forest carbon stock metrics, informing national carbon accounting and forest policy design.
📄 Abstract（原文）
In discussions of greenhouse gases and climate change, forests are most commonly framed as “natural carbon stocks.” In this article, we challenge that framework using established theory from models of population growth and ecological succession. We argue that forests should be understood not merely as static carbon stocks, but as dynamic systems that continuously fix atmospheric carbon dioxide and channel photosynthetic products into storage pathways with longer residence times. This perspective suggests that, provided deforestation and forest degradation are avoided, directing part of harvested timber into durable, non-combustion uses need not necessarily weaken the climatic role of forests. Instead, it may extend the residence time of biogenic carbon and complement in situ carbon sequestration.
