Whereas there is evidence that mixed-species approaches to production forestry in general can provide positive outcomes relative monocultures, it less clear what extent multiple benefits be derived from specific alternatives. To such insights requires evaluations of an encompassing suite ecosystem services, biodiversity, and forest management considerations provided by mixtures monocultures within a region. Here, we conduct assessment Sweden contrasting even-aged Norway spruce (Picea...
Forests of northern ecosystems respond slowly to management activities and the possibilities increase growth in a short-term perspective meet swift increases society's demand for biomass are small. An exception among silvicultural measures is fertilization which can be applied combination with present systems and, almost instantly, enhances forest productivity. There may, however, both economic environmental constraints large-scale applications fertilizers forest. Here we review literature...
Abstract Uncertainty in future states of nature affects the set feasible management alternatives as well a forest owner's preferences among different alternatives. To incorporate uncertainty into forestry decisions, both effects should be recognized simultaneously. This study concerns final harvest decision even-aged stand with stochastic stumpage prices. An expected utility maximization model is developed for determining optimal adaptive policy. Instead assuming risk-neutrality on side...
Abstract State-owned forest enterprises (SOFEs) in northeast China play important roles both timber production and the maintenance of ecological security. This paper examines effects a number policy measures on behavioral choices SOFEs. The results show that extent to which SOFE supervising authorities emphasized improvement resources their annual evaluation SOFEs had significant impacts harvest investment decisions development resources. Promotion management utilization non-timber...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects international efforts aimed at reducing illegal logging on bilateral trade forest products between China and its partner countries. Design/methodology/approach analysis conducted using an extended gravity model, where regulations enforced in different countries, as well agreements partners combating are included explanatory variables. impacts against examined based estimated coefficients these policy Findings results show that...
Abstract We present a reservation price model to examine the joint impacts of natural disturbances and stumpage uncertainty on optimal harvesting decision for even‐aged forest stands. consider landowner who manages loblolly pine stand produce timber amenities, under age‐dependent risk wildfires in future prices. show that incorporation decreases The inclusion leads lower land values reduces mean harvest age compared with case no‐risk wildfires. Higher economic gains are obtained strategy...
Illegal logging has become a global issue because of its adverse effects on biodiversity and climate change. In order to reduce illegal logging, many countries around the world have introduced regulations for international trade forest products. This paper examines these efforts The analysis is conducted using Heckscher–Ohlin–Vanek model, where number against used describe level efforts, included as an explanatory variable national net export results show that had significant positive impacts
Woody biomass is the largest source of renewable energy in Europe, and expected increase demand for wood purposes was stimulus writing this paper. Opportunities to supply forest short long term are discussed, as well environmental side effects intensive management. Focusing on northern national estimates potential annual fellings corresponding amounts, simulated by European Forest Information Scenario model, then presented, reported fellings. For region a whole, there seems be substantial...
Abstract This article examines the effect of risk-aversion on short-run supply timber, when harvest revenue is invested in a portfolio riskless and risky asset. Assuming that future stumpage price rate return asset are independent normally distributed, it shown optimal harvesting behavior depends sign marginal variance function. shows increase volume wealth, evaluated at harvest-investment decision under risk-neutral preferences. If negative, then increases first-period. equals zero, only...
