The forestry module describes the constraints under which managed forest (age-class forest) exists. At the same time it calculates the corresponding carbon stocks. The module provides carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from afforestation to the GHG policy module (56_ghg_policy) as well as afforestation related costs to the costs module (11_costs).

The main feature of the this realization is afforestation for CDR and timber production. Afforestation can be modelled exogenously (prescribed by NPI/NDC policies) and/or endogenously (incentivized by a reward for CDR). National policies implemented (NPI) and nationally determined contributions to the Paris agreement (NDC) for afforestation are based on country reports. The interface vm_cdr_aff includes the expected CDR and local bph effects from afforestation depending on the planning horizon s32_planing_horizon. The reward for CDR and local bph effects from afforestation is calculated in the 56_ghg_policy module. In this realization, afforestation is modeled by default as regrowth of natural vegetation (see Humpenöder et al. (2014) for details on the implemenation). The regrowth of natural vegetation follows S-shaped growth curves, which are parametrized based on Braakhekke et al. (2019). Additionally this module handles the production of two timber products i.e., wood and woodfuel from plantation forests while still accounting for afforestation policies. New plantations are also established in the simulation step to account for future timber demand. This module also calculates the rotation lengths before the solve loop by equating Instantaneous Growth Rates (IGR) and interest rate pm_interest based on Amacher, Ollikainen, and Koskela (2009). We have to make assumptions regarding the rotation lengths to be used for establishment and harvesting decisions. For establishment we just use the calculated rotations either based on a Single Rotation-Period Model or based on Faustamnn rotations according to the switch s32_faustmann_rotation. For harvesting we assume that land owners stick to their establishment decision, e.g. if a plantation has been established with a rotation length of 30 years it will be harvested after 30 years, even so the rotation length in the prevailing time step, used for establishment, is shorter or longer.
The direct costs of Timber production and afforestation vm_cost_fore include maintenance and monitoring costs for newly established plantations as well as standing plantations ’(Sathaye et al. 2005). In addition, this type of forest management (including afforestation) may cause costs in other parts of the model such as costs for technological change 13_tc or land expansion 39_landconversion. Also included are additional costs for producing timber from extremely highly managed plantations which are analogous to intensification using technological change from 13_tc but in a parametrized form.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_cost\_fore(i2) = v32\_cost\_recur(i2) + v32\_cost\_establishment(i2) + \sum_{cell(i2,j2)} v32\_land\_missing(j2) \cdot s32\_free\_land\_cost + \sum_{cell(i2,j2)} v32\_cost\_extra\_investment(j2) \end{multline*}\]
The interface vm_cdr_aff provides the projected bgc (CDR) and local bph effects of an afforestation activity for a planning horizon of 30 years s32_planing_horizon to the 56_ghg_policy module.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_cdr\_aff(j2,ac,"bgc") = \sum_{ac\_est} v32\_land(j2,"aff",ac\_est) \cdot \sum_{ct} p32\_cdr\_ac(ct,j2,ac) + \sum_{ac\_est} v32\_land(j2,"plant",ac\_est) \cdot \sum_{ct} p32\_cdr\_ac\_plant(ct,j2,ac) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_cdr\_aff(j2,ac,"bph") = v32\_land(j2,"aff","ac0") \cdot p32\_aff\_bgp(j2,ac) \end{multline*}\]
ac_est can only increase if total afforested land increases
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{ac\_est} v32\_land(j2,"aff",ac\_est) \leq \sum_{ac} v32\_land(j2,"aff",ac) - \sum_{ct,ac} p32\_land(ct,j2,"aff",ac) \end{multline*}\]
The interface vm_land provides aggregated forestry land pools (type32) to other modules.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_land(j2,"forestry") = \sum_{type32,ac} v32\_land(j2,type32,ac) \end{multline*}\]
The constraint q32_aff_pol accounts for the exogenous afforestation prescribed by NPI/NDC policies.
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{ac\_est} v32\_land(j2,"ndc",ac\_est) = \sum_{ct} p32\_aff\_pol\_timestep(ct,j2) \end{multline*}\]
The constraint q32_max_aff accounts for the allowed maximum global afforestation defined in p32_max_aff_area. Note that NPI/NDC afforestation policies are counted towards the maximum defined in p32_max_aff_area. Therefore, the right-hand side of the constraint is tightened by the value of the exogenously prescribed afforestation that has to be realized in later time steps (p32_aff_togo).
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{\left(j2,type32,ac\right)\$\left(not sameas(type32,"plant")\right)} v32\_land(j2,type32,ac) \leq p32\_max\_aff\_area - \sum_{ct} p32\_aff\_togo(ct) \end{multline*}\]
Forestry above ground carbon stocks are calculated as the product of forestry land (v32_land) and the area weighted mean of carbon density for carbon pools (p32_carbon_density_ac).
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_carbon\_stock(j2,"forestry",ag\_pools) = \sum_{type32,ac}\left( v32\_land(j2,type32,ac) \cdot \sum_{ct} p32\_carbon\_density\_ac(ct,j2,type32,ac,ag\_pools)\right) \end{multline*}\]
Forestry land expansion and reduction is calculated as follows:
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_landdiff\_forestry = \sum_{j2,type32,ac}\left( v32\_land\_expansion(j2,type32,ac) + v32\_land\_reduction(j2,type32,ac)\right) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v32\_land\_expansion(j2,type32,ac\_est) = v32\_land(j2,type32,ac\_est) - pc32\_land(j2,type32,ac\_est) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v32\_land\_reduction(j2,type32,ac\_sub) = pc32\_land(j2,type32,ac\_sub) - v32\_land(j2,type32,ac\_sub) \end{multline*}\]
Cost of new plantations establishment v32_cost_establishment is the investment made in setting up new plantations but also accounts for the expected value of future harvesting costs. This makes sure that the model sticks to reasonable plantation patterns over time. Present value of harvesting costs is (1+pm_interest)^p32_rotation_regional and annuity factor of pm_interest/(1+pm_interest) averages the cost of this investment over time.
\[\begin{multline*} v32\_cost\_establishment(i2) = \left(\sum_{cell(i2,j2),type32}\left( v32\_land(j2,type32,"ac0") \cdot s32\_reESTBcost\right) \right) \cdot \sum_{ct}\left(\frac{pm\_interest(ct,i2)}{\left(1+pm\_interest(ct,i2)\right)}\right) \end{multline*}\]
Recurring costs are paid for plantations where the trees have to be regularly monitored and maintained. These costs are only calculated becuase we see active human intervention in commercial plantations. These costs are paid for trees used for timber production or trees established for afforestation purposes.
\[\begin{multline*} v32\_cost\_recur(i2) = \sum_{cell(i2,j2),type32,ac\_sub} v32\_land(j2,type32,ac\_sub) \cdot s32\_recurring\_cost \end{multline*}\]
New plantations are already established in the optimization step based on a certain percentage (pc32_plant_prod_share_future) of future demand (pm_demand_forestry_future) This is based on the expected future yield (pc32_yield_forestry_future) at harvest (year in time step are accounted for). Here we define three constraints for establishing new plantation in simulation step Fix plantation area at cell level if s32_fix_plant=1. In case of s32_fix_plant=0, the RHS is just 0. This makes sure that if plantation area is constrained when the switch is activated.
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{ac} v32\_land(j2,"plant",ac) \geq \sum_{ct,ac} p32\_land(ct,j2,"plant",ac) \cdot \sum_{ct}p32\_fix\_plant(ct) \end{multline*}\]
Global maximum constraint based on meeting all the future timber demand (pm_demand_forestry_future).
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{j2}\left(\frac{ \left(\sum\left(ac\_est, v32\_land(j2,"plant",ac\_est)\right) + v32\_land\_missing(j2)\right) }{ m\_timestep\_length\_forestry } \cdot pc32\_yield\_forestry\_future(j2)\right) \leq \sum_{i2} pm\_demand\_forestry\_future(i2,"wood") \end{multline*}\]
Global minimum constraint based on a proportion (pc32_plant_prod_share_future) of future timber demand (pm_demand_forestry_future).
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{j2}\left(\frac{ \left(\sum\left(ac\_est, v32\_land(j2,"plant",ac\_est)\right) + v32\_land\_missing(j2)\right) }{ m\_timestep\_length\_forestry } \cdot pc32\_yield\_forestry\_future(j2)\right) \geq \sum_{i2,ct}\left( pm\_demand\_forestry\_future(i2,"wood") \cdot s32\_plant\_share\right) \cdot \left(1-\sum_{ct}p32\_fix\_plant(ct)\right) \end{multline*}\]
Regional minimum constraint for maintaining current forestry area patterns, while accounting for regional self sufficiency in (pm_selfsuff_ext) timber production.
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{cell(i2,j2)}\left( \left(\frac{\left(\sum\left(ac\_est, v32\_land(j2,"plant",ac\_est)\right) + v32\_land\_missing(j2)\right) }{ m\_timestep\_length\_forestry}\right) \cdot pc32\_yield\_forestry\_future(j2)\right) \geq pm\_demand\_forestry\_future(i2,"wood") \cdot s32\_plant\_share \cdot \sum_{ct} pm\_selfsuff\_ext(ct,i2,"wood") \cdot \left(1-\sum_{ct}p32\_fix\_plant(ct)\right) \end{multline*}\]
Extra investment costs
\[\begin{multline*} v32\_cost\_extra\_investment(j2) = \sum_{ac\_est} v32\_land(j2,"plant",ac\_est) \cdot \sum_{ct}pm\_investment\_layer(ct,j2) \cdot s32\_investment\_cost \end{multline*}\]
This constraint distributes additions to forestry land over ac_est, which depends on the time step length (e.g. ac0 and ac5 for a 10 year time step).
\[\begin{multline*} v32\_land(j2,type32,ac\_est) = \frac{ \sum_{ac\_est2} v32\_land(j2,type32,ac\_est2)}{card(ac\_est2)} \end{multline*}\]
Change in forestry area is the difference between plantation area from previous time step (‘pc32_land’) and optimized plantation area from current time step (‘v32_land’)
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_hvarea\_forestry(j2,ac\_sub) \leq v32\_land\_reduction(j2,"plant",ac\_sub) \end{multline*}\]
