"The FASOM-GHG modeling system simulates both economic (market) and biophysical systems in the U.S. forestry and agricultural sectors. FASOM-GHG uses a multi-period market surplus optimization approach with the two sectors linked via the market for land that can be used in either sector."
"The FASOM-GHG model is unique in its modeling of multiple forest-related markets, including both logs and mill processed products. Sawtimber, pulpwood, and fuelwood are included in log markets, and sawn lumber, plywood, reconstituted panel products, and pulp are modeled in product markets."[1]
