“…In a broader regional context, our paper is a response to urgent need for more specific and in-depth research into the Latin American forest industries and markets made by Hyde et al (2022) and Olmos (2022). By delving into the complex dynamics of the w market and the Colombian wood industry, we aim to contribute to a greater understanding of how individual countries within Latin America are navigating the challenges and opportunities of the forest sector.…”

A detailed exploration of the development of Colombia's market for manufactured products of the wood industry since its early days, with an analytical focus on the period 1970-2021, is presented. The examination of early days draws upon historical information, wood industry-specific statistics derived from Colombia’s Annual Manufacturing Survey and industrial census, and data from the National Accounts of Colombia (NAC), which offers insightful understanding of the market dynamics up to the end of the 1960s. For 1970 to 2021 comprehensive consolidated data derived from the Supply and Use Tables of the NAC and other sources provides the base for an in-depth examining of the market aspects such as quantities of supply (national production), demand, and the components of demand – including domestic consumption, exports, and imports. The exploration reveals a significant shift in the manufactured products of the wood industry market’s dynamics, transitioning from a primarily domestic consuming and export-driven one to a market increasingly reliant on imports to satisfy domestic consumption. Critical factors contributing to this shift are identified, highlighting Colombian forest resource depletion and inadequate nation’s wood industry development. The paper synthesizes historical data to articulate the interplay between economic policies and market outcomes, culminating in a discernible need for strategic industry modernization. Furthermore, it offers comprehensive and detailed information, facilitating a thorough understanding of all market aspects without necessitating consultation of additional sources.

“…It is helpful to know the extent of utilization and use of forest areas (De Groot et al 2019). The following points are strongly related to the application of forest ecosystem service functions that will have a good impact on the environment: (1) forests have a role as a carbon sink and begin to be in the spotlight when the earth is faced with the problem of global climate change caused (Subhan et al 2021;Wahanisa 2015), (2) awareness of the importance of protecting and preserving the environment has increased along with global climate change, which has become a world issue in recent years (Hyde et al 2022), and (3) global warming, caused by large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in the atmosphere (Skytt et al 2020), triggering an increase in the earth's temperature due to the current greenhouse effect (Xu and Cui 2021).…”

Forests have a role as carbon sinks and come under the spotlight when the world is facing the climate change problem. Urban forests have functions as the most effective carbon sinks. Banda Aceh City only has 7.15 ha of urban forest, and the vegetation that grows in the urban forest is essential for carbon emissions reduction. This study aimed to determine the potential tree biomass and carbon sink value in the BNI Urban Forest, Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. This study used vegetation analysis by inventory method with the census sampling method. The diameter of all trees was measured, and tree biomass, carbon stocks, and carbon sequestration were calculated. This study identified 16 tree species in the BNI Urban Forest with a total of 318 individuals, showing Casuarina equisetifolia as the most dominant tree (163 trees). The above-ground biomass, carbon stock, and carbon sequestration by the vegetation in the BNI Urban Forest were 24.66 tons/ha, 11.59 tons/ha, and 42.51 tons/ha, respectively. This study presented the vegetation conditions and the potential of carbon sequestration, which can be used to monitor and evaluate the benefits of the existence of urban forests in Banda Aceh. Keywords: carbon sequestration, carbon stock, green open space, tree biomass, urban forest
