Brent Sohngen studies the economics of forests and land use, focusing on how forests can be managed and financed to help mitigate climate change. His work examines topics like carbon storage in forests and wood products, carbon 'leakage' (when protecting forests in one place shifts deforestation elsewhere), climate finance for forests, and agricultural land-use policy. This research blends environmental economics with forest ecology to inform climate and forestry policy.
