Schulze et al. (GCB Bioenergy, 2020, 12, 186–197) argue against putting forests into conservation, alleging that managing forests, including for bioenergy, produces more climate mitigation than letting them grow. However, this conclusion is based on not counting emissions from burning biomass, and other carbon accounting sleight of hand.
