We estimated timber investment returns for 22 countries and 54 species/management regimes in 2017, a range of global plantation species at the stand level, using capital budgeting criteria, without land costs, real discount rate 8%. Returns were principal Americas—Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay, Mexico, United States—as well as New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, China, Vietnam, Laos, Spain, Finland, Poland, Scotland, France. American growth rates their...
Prior research in 2005 and 2008 estimated planted forest investment returns for a set of countries included some natural species few countries. This has extended those analyses to larger focused on plantation species, seven years. serves as "benchmarking" exercise that helps identify comparative advantages among timber returns, well other institutional, forestry, policy factors affect investments. Furthermore, it extends the examine effects land prices, environmental regulations, increased...
We estimated stand level timber investment returns for a range of 16 countries and 47 planted species/management regimes in 2020, using capital budgeting criteria, at real discount rate 8%, without land costs. Plantation management financial were the principal plantation Americas—Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Mexico, United States—as well as China, Vietnam, Laos, Spain, New Zealand, Finland, Poland.

Abstract Timber availability was forecast over a 100-year period for Pennsylvania's most valuable hardwood region using the USDA Forest Service FORPLAN model. The eight-county found to have sawtimber production capability that could more than triple during next 60 years. Age class distributions would also become balanced, thereby tempering cyclical harvest patterns. North. J. Appl. For. 6:133-137, September 1989.
Abstract 22In 2009, five unique methods were used to inspect vegetation-related conditions along Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) rights-of-way (ROW). Some trials that BPA committed execute as part of a settlement with its regional regulatory organization, the Western Electric Coordination Council (WECC), for violations reliability standards from vegetation grow-in related outages. A combination simple, stratified, and 100% sampling compare contrast each inspection technique....
