Wood is the best sustainable building material in the world. Existing resources, forests, are important for the correct use of this natural and sustainable building material. We need to respond to the increase in demand for raw materials due to the global climate crisis, increasing forest fires, and rapid population growth throughout the world. Wood must need to be regrown to maintain its sustainable structure in the circular economy and enable included in buildings more efficiently.
It is significant to adopt and spread the innovative forestry approach in the cultivation of new trees without causing environmental destruction and disrupting the balance of existing resources.
Using the Tree Correctly
The dimensions obtained from a tree are an essential issue for the use of resources without waste in the wood industry. In general, three different sizes are made from a tree. The timber obtained from the harvested trees is divided into various uses. "High-quality timber" should be used in areas where high strength is required such as furniture, stairs, joinery, flooring, parquet, coating, windows, and doors. Woods classified as "structural grade lumber" are used for framing and trusses, and "residual grade timber" is suitable for general use and should be used for firewood or paper products.
The Regrowing Forest
The notion that forests can not grow again is a misconception. There are renewed forest examples with many case studies. A sustainably harvested forest will become a forest again with a correct forestry approach. It will be part of the natural ecological system. The significant criteria are proper harvesting and post-harvest seeding.
How Can a Forest Re-growth Be Sustainable?
Trees are the best carbon-sequestrant biological entities. With correct management, the harvested forest will turn into properly grown fields and forests in the future. Wood is the best sustainable building material, and forests must be processed using sustainable methods to obtain it. More trees are needed, so more forests must exist and more importance and care must be given to habitats, which are sources of life. Each tree that grows represents potential carbon sequestration channels and each tree will reduce the carbon footprint, which is the cause of global warming. Every step that reduces the carbon footprint will contribute to the sustainability of the world's natural balance.
How Does the Innovative Forestry Approach Be Implemented?
A correct and innovative understanding of forestry, stated by the experts, should prepare the appropriate seed bed, inseminate by hand or a helicopter to become successful in seeding and choose from among the available tree seeds so that the new seeds match the previously existing species. Following the correct forestry understanding and following the seeding steps after the cutting and stacking of the forests which are suitable for harvesting forms are the basis of the innovative forestry approach.
As a result, the innovative forestry approach developed in order for the trees, which are the oxygen channels of the world, to be processed correctly and consciously is one of the necessary steps for a sustainable world and future. As DENDRO, we produce our products by showing the importance and care that is required in the production of parquets and woods. We bring the flooring of big projects together with our products that care for nature in Turkey. You can visit www.dendro.com.tr/en to review our other articles on woods and parquets.
