Classification-based forest management (CFM) is generally regarded as an important political means of achieving sustainable forest development. However, in the upsurge of publicly managed forest devolution, the impact of CFM policies on forestland restoration remains uncertain and needs to be...

The study examines the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve for the forest product footprint in India. Based on the Autoregressive Distributive Lag Model and its non-linear version, we show that India has an N-shaped forest product footprint-induced environmental Kuznets curve. By employing...

Forest certification as a typical green trade measure has been gradually adopted by developed countries. Although it can promote the upgrading of forest products' trade structure, it also threatens the stability of export growth. However, most studies have focused on the impact of forest...

Given the drastic changes in the environment, resilience is a key focus of ecosystem management. Yet, the quantification of the different dimensions of resilience remains challenging, particularly for long-lived systems such as forests. Here we present an analytical framework to study the economic...

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...

The paper presents the efficiency evaluation of forest districts in Southern Poland carried out using the standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) which is a nonparametric mathematical programming technique. The study aims to evaluate the efficiency and identify the external factors affecting the...

The aim of this paper is to measure the relative performance of forest management units considering economics and carbon dynamic in Caspian forests of Iran. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a well-known and robust technique for measuring the relative efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMUs) was ...

The forest insurance premium subsidy policy has been implemented for more than 10 years in China, and the proposition of whether and to what extent it can promote forestry production is in urgent need of scientific and systematic empirical test. Combined with producer behavior theory, we explored...

Opportunities exist for forestry companies to vertically integrate operations to include both forest estate management and timber processing. However, forest supply chains have traditionally functioned in a decoupled manner where forest operations and timber processing are uncoordinated in their...
