“…A large value of x 1 probably has the effect that more fuelwood (or wooden biomass) is used. In addition, authors such as Garbacz (1985), Garbacz and Erickson (1987) and Schmoranz (1994) found a clear relationship between the amount of used fuelwood (or wooden biomass) and the coldness of winter (heating degree-day figure (own calculation based on DWD (2014); see variable d in ''Appendix 2''). For this reason, the percentage deviation of the heating degree-day figure from the moving average of the previous 10 years is calculated (see ''Appendix 2'').…”

“…Assuming that the prices of different fuels have an influence on the magnitude of their use (following, for example, Garbacz 1985;Garbacz and Erickson 1987;Schmoranz 1994), we use the consumer price indexes CPI for heating with power, gas, liquid fuel and district heating as well as the CPI for heating with fuelwood (StBA 2014e). Furthermore, there are data on the share of the use of the different types of heating (except the exact share of heating with wood) in Germany (BDEW 2014).…”

Estimation of wood removals and fellings in Germany: a calculation approach based on the amount of used roundwood

et al. 2015

This paper presents an ex-post calculation approach for the use-side estimation of wood fellings in Germany. Based on an existing approach for calculating wood removals, all roundwood using sectors and available data sources are to be identified. An intensive analysis and evaluation of the data scope and quality, as well as the subsequent identification of data gaps on the use side are essential parts of the approach. A complementary part of the study is the development of individual sectoral models to close the identified data gaps on the use side. The calculated data on wood removals are then used for the estimation of wood fellings, taking into account variables such as logging residues. The comparison of the use-side calculated data for fellings in this paper, with supply-based data from official statistics, shows that there was a difference of about 16.1 million m 3 in 2013. This tendency toward constant underestimation of fellings in the official statistics is known from various studies and can now be quantified for the complete period of investigation (1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013). The results also allow for a more realistic view on a possible sustainable increase in wood harvests and on decision making in forest-based industries. Moreover, they allow for more accurate calculations of carbon sequestration in forests and harvested wood products.
