In the coming decades, climate change is projected to cause carbon dioxide fertilization effects in pine forests in the US Southeast. Resulting changes in pine (loblolly) growth will impact forest markets and regional carbon sequestration. We examine this impact in the context of baseline demand...

The lack of economic information for management of longleaf pine, a forest type that once dominated the landscape in the southeastern United States, can be a major barrier to landowners to planting this species. This study compares the economic performance of even-aged longleaf pine with loblolly...

Economic analyses of forest assets are traditionally based on financial indicators - obtained with help of discounted cash flows. Noteworthy in this context is the Land rent theory - Lrt, also known as land expectation value. In opposition to the Lrt the Forest rent theory - Frt was developed. With ...

Pinus sylvestris has a long history of basic and applied research that is relevant for both forestry and evolutionary studies. Its patterns of adaptive variation and role in forest economic and ecological systems have been studied extensively for nearly 275 years, detailed demography for a 100...

Pinus spp. plantations are the basis of an important economic activity on the highland regions of southern Brazil, where they are cultivated under productions cycles of approximately 15 years. The objective of the study was to evaluate the physical-mechanical and anatomical characteristics of Pinus ...

As a long-term investment, timberland investments offer financial benefits including portfolio diversification, attractive risk/return profile, an inflation hedge, and the potential of cash flow. Based on interviews with experts regarding ranges of input parameters used in single-hectare financial...

This article analyzes the impacts of different levels of forest productivity scenarios, disturbance risk, and salvageable rates resulting from climate change on the economics of loblolly pine in the southern United States. Potential adaptation strategies examined include reduction in planting...

We estimated timber investment returns for 22 countries and 54 species/management regimes in 2017, for a range of global timber plantation species and countries at the stand level, using capital budgeting criteria, without land costs, at a real discount rate of 8%. Returns were estimated for the...

Tactical harvest scheduling is related to forest unit selection and spatial sequencing. Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is traditionally implemented in this type of planning, associating each forest unit with one or more binary and/or integer variables. However, the higher number of...

Many ecosystem services are often overlooked in active management of private forests leading to their production below the levels preferred by the society. This study used the contingent valuation method (CVM) to estimate willingness to accept (WTA) compensation for managing a hypothetical tract of ...
