Mature and old-growth forests are valued for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, habitat,
hydrologic function, aesthetics, and spirituality, as well as Tribal and Indigenous histories …

Classical silviculture has often emphasized timber models, fundamentally based in
production agriculture. This books presents silvicultural methods based in natural forest …

ABSTRACT The EU, UK, US, and other nations consider wood to be a carbon neutral fuel,
ignoring the carbon dioxide emitted from wood combustion in their greenhouse gas …

This paper presents a generalization of the classic Faustmann formula for land expectation
value. The generalized Faustmann formula allows the harvest age to vary from timber crop …

The effects of maximum present value and maximum volume objectives on the efficiencies of
alternative silvicultural systems are determined by solving any-aged management problems …

In this paper, a discussion of the development of the optimal forest rotation literature and an
extensive bibliography is presented. The body of literature has grown at an almost constant …

The existing forest economic models, rooted in sustained yield timber management systems
and neo-classical economic framework, are subject to many limitations. Social, economic …

This paper challenges common assumptions about convexity in forest rotation models which
optimize timber plus nontimber benefits. If a local optimum occurs earlier than the globally …

This book traces the economic and biological pattern of forest development from initial
settlement and harvest activity at the natural forest frontier to modern industrial forest …

Managing any complex operation requires planning. While this seems obvious enough, it is
valuable to consider specifically why planning is important, especially in the context of the …
