Extending the lifespan of timber creates GHG benefits, but this may be of modest significance if it replaces the use of primary timber.
“Extending the lifespan of timber creates GHG benefits, but this may be of modest significance if it replaces the use of primary timber [123,124].”
From Cross-Laminated Secondary Timber: Experimental Testing and Modelling the Effect of Defects and Reduced Feedstock Properties (2018) · cites this paper as [124]
Section 3.6 links the carbon-pool effect to the service life of wood products, and the Conclusions say that the benefit from enlarging that pool may be rather low. However, the paper does not assess extending timber’s lifespan as a way of replacing primary timber or say that this replacement makes the benefit modest. Its substitution analysis concerns wood replacing conventional building materials or fossil fuels. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
