In this study, forest owners' willingness to accept the governmental redemption of commercial forests for forest conservation, as well as the factors influencing their willingness, was analyzed. It was found that having expected non-timber income from conservation programs, trustable government...

Controlling the growing space available to trees is essential for silvicultural management. For an efficient, i.e. economical, allocation of the scarce growing space, a qualitative and quantitative knowledge of all drivers of harvest decisions is required. The fundamental...

Joint Forest Management (JFM) is a form of participatory forest governance that aims for protection, conservation and sustainable use of forest resources by involving local communities. The JFM reforms have been promoted to address forest and land degradation, as vital in reducing institutional...

We examine the effect of forest taxes on the optimal harvest decision and the forest land value using an adaptive optimization framework - the stand is harvested when the stumpage price is equal or higher than an age-dependent reservation price. We prove that the site value tax or site productivity ...

We built a game-theoretic supply model where forest landowners respond to each other's decisions using two market assumptions: (i) Perfect cartel, (ii) Cournot competition (simultaneous moves) and (iii) Stackelberg competition (sequential moves). Our findings indicate that the initial forest...

Costs of forestry practices have been reported periodically for the South for over 60 years, with few analyses of the cost trends. We report on an analysis of these trends between 1982 and 2016, including indices for overall costs and labor costs for forest management. The overall cost of intensive ...

Objective: The article is intended to identify the theoretical basis for and feasible approach to realizing the value of forest ecological products, therefore providing a plan for improving the mechanism of realizing the value of ecological products, achieving the strategic goal of "carbon peaking...

The role of a forest sector in the transition to a circular economy (CE) is critical. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to summarize the main findings of the most important published articles and to provide insights on the interdisciplinary space at the interface of concepts related to a ...

This work aims at modeling the economics of the sylvo-cynegetic equilibrium in commercial forests, as defined by forestry authorities, with respect to uncertain damages to plantation stands caused by the overabundance of ungulate species. After presenting the stochastic optimal control framework,...

"Highly hazardous" pesticides have been listed and banned in Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified areas and producers from tropical countries in the southern hemisphere, such as Australia, Brazil and South Africa suffer the consequences of these restrictions. The objective was to assess...
