Deforestation displaced: trade in forest-risk commodities and the prospects for a global forest transition (2019, methodology): “Trademodel After allocating deforestation to crops, cattle meat and forestry products, we used a physical trade model to assess the country-to-country trade flows of the embodied deforestation (for details on the physical trade model itself, see [8, 39]).”
Measuring telecouplings in the global land system: A review and comparative evaluation of land footprint accounting methods (2015, unknown): “Many studies consider this by allocating land areas to joint products in relation to their weight (Bringezu et al., 2009), energy content (Kastner et al., 2011b), carbon content (Kastner et al., 2011a) or value shares (Prieler et al., 2013; Statistisches Bundesamt, 2013).”
A synthesis of carbon in international trade (2012, methodology): “Many physical accounting approaches are based on the concept of “apparent consumption” (Ciais et al., 2007; Haberl et al., 2007; Ciais et al., 2008; Erb et al., 2009; Krausmann et al., 2008; Kastner et al., 2011a, b).”
Comparing the sustainability of local and global food products in Europe (2017, unknown): “The common conclusion is that emissions from farming (land use, soil emissions, productivity) are more important than transport emissions and that relocalization, if practiced globally would actually increase GHG emissions (Avetisyan et al., 2014; Kastner et al., 2011; Kreidenweis et al., 2016).”
Agricultural and forestry trade drives large share of tropical deforestation emissions (2019, methodology): “%) with a physical trade approach (Kastner et al., 2014a).”
Towards nexus-based governance: defining interactions between economic activities and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (2020, background): “For instance, agricultural value chains integrate activities such as crop production, processing, packaging, transport, wholesale and retail trade, and marketing, each impacting different SDGs in different locations of the world (Kastner et al. 2011).”
International wood trade and forest change: A global analysis (2011, methodology): “This information is then used to trace the origin of primary products behind consumed products along international supply chains; a detailed description of the method can be found in Kastner et al. (2011). We applied this method to the obtained bilateral trade matrix in tons carbon (see above) along”
