Methods of the systematic review We identified appropriate studies based on a comprehensive literature search. We began by conducting three queries in Scopus: 1 forest AND (displace* OR substitut*) AND carbon AND product* 2 lca AND wood AND substit* 3 compar* and LCA and wood These queries identified 488 studies, 87 and 377 studies, respectively. We screened the documents for relevance based on information provided in titles, abstracts, keywords and results, and shortened the list to 81 studies in the first query, 22 studies in the second query and 12 studies in the third query. We also reviewed the reference lists of the identified studies to identify additional relevant references and considered the studies by Rüter et al. (2016) and Valada et al. (2016). Reviewed studies were limited to those published in English, Swedish, Finnish, German or French.
