Valuing forestlands with stochastic timber and carbon prices
Annals of Operations Research, 2013We calculate expected bare land values, assuming forestry is the highest and best land use, using a real options methodology with stochastic mean-reverting timber and carbon prices. Land values relect the contribution of both timber as well as carbon stored in three separate pools—the forest, harvested wood products, and emissions avoided by using wood

Stochastic Forest Stand Value and Optimal Timber Harvesting
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2004Summary: We consider a Faustmann timber harvesting problem arising in the literature on rational forest management by modeling the value of the harvested resource as a time homogeneous, regular, and linear diffusion. We state a set of easily verifiable general conditions under which the existence and uniqueness of an optimal cutting value and ...

Public Values in Cutover Timber Lands
Journal of Forestry, 1935Abstract The question has been raised of the relative "social values" of timberland in the Southwest for stock raising or timber growing. Timber growing shows marked superiority, whether measured by gross financial returns or by volume of labor employment.

The non‐timber value of northern Swedish forests
Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 1993For the forests in the county of Vasterbotten in northern Sweden, this study attempts to quantify the non‐timber value arisen from on‐site consumptive use (berry‐ and mushroom‐picking), on‐site non‐consumptive use (hiking, camping, etc.), and off‐site visual experience.

Land and Timber Values in an Urban Region
Journal of Forestry, 1978Abstract Over a 20-year period, land values in central Massachusetts increased at a much faster rate than stumpage values. As a result, potential earnings from timber management are a declining factor in real estate transactions in this urban region.

The Joint Production of Timber and Environmental Values
1999Regulatory requirements to protect habitat have increased, requiring forest managers to include measures of biodiversity, habitat, and streamside protection in their plans. A demonstration of environmental and economic effects for a range of timber management alternatives was developed for western Washington.

The value of timber inventory information for management planning
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2008Timber inventory data is the basis for many monetary transactions related to timber and timberland sale and (or) purchase as well as for development of timber management plans. The value of such data is well known and much appreciated for sale and (or) purchase of standing merchantable timber.

Valuation of non-timber forest products value chains
Forest Policy and Economics, 2009Abstract By their very definition, non-timber forest products (NTFPs) originate in hinterlands and link to final consumers through value chains. This paper quantifies four value chains of the highly valuable agarwood sourced in Lao People's Democratic Republic, by looking at the actors involved and the different stages from harvesting to retail, and ...

Appraising National Forest Timber Values: A Concept Reexamined
Journal of Forestry, 1981Abstract Standards for appraising national forest stumpage developed early in the century by Austin Cary, W.B. Greeley, and James W. Girard were critically examined and explained by Julian E. Rothery some four decades ago in three significant articles. Rothery described the standard Forest Service methods, including the investment method,
