The increasingly obvious impact of climate change, in recent decades, has produced numerous negative effects and a series of measures have been imposed for reducing the emissions and for adaption to climate change. Forestry activities try to find a balance between adapting forest regeneration practices to the needs imposed by climate change. Two important economic activities: Forestry and logging and the second one the Wood processing and manufacturing play an important role on the quality of environmental factors in general and on greenhouse gas emissions in particular. CO2, CH4, N2O resulting from wood processing activities were used in this paper to evaluate the possible correlation between these emissions and the volume of extracted wood. The data were collected by the National Institute of Statistics during 2008-2020. The volume of extracted wood varies between 16,704 thousand cubic meters in 2008 and 19,652 thousand cubic meters in 2020, the analyzed period average being 18,218 thousand cubic meters. The CO2 emissions from Wood processing and manufacturing are significantly higher than the CO2 emissions from Forestry and logging, for example in 2008 the emissions from the first source were 230 thousand cubic meters compared to only 28 thousand cubic meters from the second source. The analysis of CH4 and N2O emissions shows that the two activities have relatively the same impact on air quality. Until now, there have been extensive studies on Romanian forestry activities from a qualitative and quantitative perspective, but it is important to observe the link between the volume of wood extracted and the emissions of greenhouse gases.
