a) Annual greenhouse gas emissions estimates from harvested C converted to CO₂(immediate emissions), the C flux from emissions as CO₂reported by the BC-HWPv1, or all greenhouse gas emissions (including CH₄and N₂O) as estimated from the C stock changes. Only two of the future harvest forecasts are included in the graph to provide clarity. Future harvests varied between 61 and 100% of the estimated sustainable timber flow to reflect the uncertainty in forecasting. b) Annual greenhouse gas emissions broken down by source in BC-HWPv1 from 1965–2030. Note that harvest input stopped in 2010 in this simulation to separate burning at mills from burning at retirement. The sum of emissions in (b) is identical to the “BC-HWPv1 all GHGs” line in (a) from 1965 – 2010.
