Economics of Southern Pines With and Without Payments for Environmental Amenities in the US South
Published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
During the early 1900s, nearly 37 million hectares of land in the Southern United States were under longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) relative to the current area of 1.6 million hectares. This study compares the economics of southern pines (longleaf, loblolly (Pinus taeda), and slash (Pinus elliottii)) to facilitate the decision making of family fore...

Estimating climate service value in forestry: The case of climate information on drought for maritime pine in Southweste...
In Western Europe, future climate changes go hand-in-hand with increasing risks of droughts and heat waves during summer. For forest ecosystems, a drought may result in both an increase in tree mortality and a reduction in tree growth. These impacts are delayed over time, i.e., there is a time gap between the drought and its impacts on the forest s...
Economic Evaluation of an Invasive Forest Pathogen at a Large Scale: The Case of Ash Dieback in France
The invasion of a forest by a pathogen is a complex dynamic and spatial problem. The induced disturbances do not only reduce the present availability of the affected tree species but alter its future availability, population structure and distribution as well. These disturbances also have an impact on the prices of wood products via supply shocks, ...
Feasibility of wood production according to productivity class and rotation criteria
