Research achievements and main viewpoints in the application field of GFPM

FieldAuthorScenarioMain
Global trade issuesJoseph (Buongiorno et al., 2001)Direct simulation predictionAnalyze global and Asia Pacific forest resources and forest product trade issues
Zhu (Zhu et al., 2001)S1: Continuation on tariffs and tradeThe cancellation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade has limited impact on global forest product production and consumption; The rapid growth of trade will shift from logs to processed goods
S2: Accelerate cancellation
Sun (Sun et al., 2010)S1: Cancel non-tariff barriers
S2: Removing tariff barriers
S3: Simultaneously cancel
Non-tariff barriers have a greater impact on the forest product market than tariff barriers; The elimination of non-tariff trade barriers has led to an increase in the production and trade of all timber products worldwide, with a greater impact on trade; Non-tariff barriers have improved consumer welfare to a greater extent
Joseph (Buongiorno, 2015a)S1: Low impact (eliminating tariff barriers)Assess the impact of the transatlantic trade agreement (TTIP) on the global forest sector. With the deepening of integration, both consumption growth and net trade decline in the United States of America have been significant, leading to an increase in net trade in Asia. The welfare of consumers and producers in the United States of America and the European Union has increased, but there has been a decline in welfare in third countries, especially in Asia
S2: High impact (tariffs + non-tariffs)
Joseph (Buongiorno, 2018)S1: International trade (Benchmark)The international trade in the forest product sector has had a positive impact on global economic welfare, with developed countries benefiting far more than developing countries
S2: No international trade
Hou (Hou, 2009)S1: Benchmark scenarioSimulate the various impacts of changes in export tariffs on Russian industrial logs. The increase in raw material costs will further push up product prices, which will have long-term impacts on China and global forestry
S2: Russian log tariff prices rise
Chen (Chen, 2018)S1: Benchmark scenarioStudy the impact of implementing timber export restrictions in British Columbia, Canada on the global forest product trade market and the forest product trade between China and Canada. Canada's relaxation of timber supply is conducive to the balance of global forest product trade; low growth supply stimulates demand for logs, reducing consumer surplus and avoiding adverse effects on the production and consumption of other forest products
S2: Low growth scenario (increasing log exports by 10% annually)
S3: High growth scenario (increasing log supply by 50% in the first two years and 10% from 2016 to 2020)
Biofuel demandRaunikara (Raunikar et al., 2010)S1: A1 (Globalization continues)IPCC set represents the exploration of the production of biofuels from fuelwood and industrial logs. The demand for fuelwood will increase significantly in the future, and industrial logs used to manufacture sawn wood, boards and wood pulp will begin to be used for energy production, putting ecological pressure on forests
S2: A2 (Slowing globalization)
Joseph (Buongiorno, 2015b)S1: A1 (Globalization continues)Exploring the impact of the growth rate of bioenergy demand on the global forest sector through IPCC. The world prices and demand for all wood forest products will decrease to varying degrees and the production of countries with competitive advantages will increase, leading to a decrease in the added value of the global wood processing industry
S2: A2 (Slowing globalization)
Zhang (Zhang et al., 2020)S1: Benchmark scenarioModeling of price driven interactions between energy and the global wood products market. The forecast indicates that if oil prices continue to remain high, the demand for lignocellulosic ethanol in the United States of America will significantly increase in the next 30 years
S2: Oil prices remain high
Matzenberger (Matzenberger et al., 2015)S1: High salary material demand (80%)By 2030, 14–26% of global bioenergy demand will be traded between regions. Solid biomass energy trade will range from 700 m tons to 25 bn tons; The trade of liquid biomass energy will range from 650,000 tons to 3.6 m tons
S2: Low wage demand (50%)
Morland (Morland and Schier, 2020)S1: Highly sustainable scenarioIncorporating emerging lignocellulosic products into the GFPM model framework reveals a shift in wood consumption patterns from firewood and traditional paper products to emerging lignocellulosic products
S2: Medium sustainable scenario
S3: Low sustainability scenario
Hou (Hou et al., 2013)S1: Increasing demand for salary materialsEstimate the economic impact of EU energy policy on the EU forest product sector. Taking into account both consumer surplus and producer surplus, it is reasonable to gradually increase the demand for fuel materials
S2: Increasing demand at once
Carbon sequestrationJoseph (Buongiorno et al., 2014)S1: Benchmark scenarioCarbon sequestration offset payments lead to a decrease in global timber production, an increase in timber income and an increase in global carbon storage; unilateral policies focused on wealthy countries can lead to leaks and low efficiency
S2: Carbon sequestration offset of 30$/t
Yang (Yang and Zhang, 2015)S1: Developed country scenarioThe impact of different substitution and emission reduction capabilities of simulated HWP carbon pools and the number of countries responsible for global HWP carbon pool substitution and emission reduction on the emission reduction effect of global HWP carbon pools as well as the corresponding differences in responsibility sharing
S2: Major developing countries
S3: Other developing country
Wood
supply
Joseph (Buongiorno et al., 2011)S1: Utilizing artificial forestsThe utilization of artificial forests has led to a decrease in global forest product prices and an increase in production and consumption; consumer economic benefits increase, producer economic benefits are uncertain; the world's natural forest logging has decreased
S2: No use of artificial forests
Zhang (Zhang et al., 2016)S1: Illegal production and consumptionEliminating illegal timber production is more economical than eliminating illegal timber consumption; however, eliminating illegal timber production will lead to uneven distribution of social wealth in the forest sector and transfer the cost of reducing illegal logging to developing countries
S2: Eliminating illegal timber
S3: Eliminating illegal timber consumption
ReformZhang (Zhang et al., 2012)S1: High forest conversion scenarioThe collective forest reform policy can truly play a practical role around 2020. The high forest reform scenario will reduce China's wood supply and demand gap by 18% by 2030, which is 9.5% more than the low forest reform scenario
S2: Low forest conversion scenario
Economic
develop
Jiang (Jiang and Huang, 2016)S1: Benchmark scenarioFor high-speed economic growth, medium to high-speed economic growth under the benchmark scenario is more conducive to the sustainable utilization of forest resources and the increase of forest ecological service supply
S2: High growth scenario (8%)
Technology
progress
Joseph (Buongiorno, 2015b)S1: High tech improvement rateThe impact of technological improvements on the prices of different types of forest products varies; Increased the value of global forest products, mainly occurring in developing countries; this has led to a certain degree of equivalent carbon dioxide storage, especially in Europe and North America
S2: Medium technology improvement rate
S3: Low technology improvement rate
Internet popularizationOchuodho (Ochuodho et al., 2017)S1: Popularization of the internet in 100 yearsThe comprehensive popularization of the internet has reduced the demand for newsprint, printing and writing paper; reduce the present value GDP of most countries in the world
S2: Popularization of the internet by 2050
