The main ecosystem services (ES) central European mountain forests provide are:
protection against gravitational hazards, timber production, recreation, biodiversity …

The current official silvicultural instructions of Finland recommend even-aged rotation forest
management (RFM) combined with low thinning and artificial regeneration. However, the …

Peatlands provide a variety of ecosystem services besides being important ecosystems for
biodiversity. Sustainable peatland management requires that its impacts are identified, and …

A continuous time-economic model for optimal thinning and rotation is modified to include
natural regeneration. The respecified model is capable of describing both optimal forest …

We study the effects of forest carbon storage on optimal stand management by applying a
model where optimal harvests are partial cuttings, implying uneven-aged forestry, or both …

Forests provide a series of ecosystem services, including the protection from natural
hazards. Thanks to these forests, structural protection measures can be avoided in many …

A new modeling approach which combined survival probabilities for spruce with financial
optimization showed a considerably reduction in financial risk in spruce (Picea abies [L.] …

Hyrcania is a productive region near the southern coast of Caspian Sea. Her forests are
mostly uneven-aged beach-dominated hardwood mixtures. There is increasing willingness …

This chapter attempts to provide improved understanding of the economics of continuous
cover forestry (CCF), which constitutes an interesting area of research and is of considerable …

This study presents a model that determines the effect of current and future payments for
carbon sequestration, proportion of wood that sequesters carbon in long-lived product and …
