Absolutely true, which is why I emphasized "intensive management on a small scale". This is rather unlike current forest governance schemes which are mostly "industrial management on a large scale".
Honestly, to do this right, you'd need a huge cultural shift towards living and working in a rural forest, along with direct local control and long-term strategic management. Which describes some forest-dwelling cultures of the past but very few today.
First time I've heard of this, got any source sorry?
Wood is different. Each type of wood has its advantage and disadvantage. A pine tree is more different to a Maple tree than you are to a great white shark in the evolution chart.
If bamboo could be easily used to make SPF studs we'd be all over it - it's a $100B industry and bamboo grows extremely easily.
This is simply not true for use as a material for buildings, which is why it's used as a replacement for wood all across east asia.
But looks like it's ready to go for some applications (plywood). Hopefully they can get it thicker and replace more dimensional lumber. Or maybe I'm reading their site wrong?
