Stochastic Forest Stand Value
The paper uses both the single rotation and ongoing rotation framework to study the impact of yield tax, lump-sum tax, cash flow tax and tax on interest rate earnings on the privately optimal rotation period when forest value growth is stochastic and forest owners are either risk neutral or risk averse. In the case of risk-neutral forest owner higher yield tax raises the optimal harvesting thre...
متن کاملA simple and effective forest stand mortality model
A whole-stand survival model is presented, that is parsimonious and well-behaved when extrapolated, making it particularly useful in data-poor situations. It is argued, on biological and systemtheoretical grounds, that a suitable differential equation for the mortality rate should contain number of trees and top height on the right-hand side, avoiding age, mean diameter, or basal area. Followin...
متن کاملSimulating Ozone Effects on Forest Productivity: Interactions among Leaf-, Canopy-, and Stand-level Processes
Ozone pollution in the lower atmosphere is known to have adverse effects on forest vegetation, but the degree to which mature forests are impacted has been very difficult to assess directly. In this study, we combined leaf-level ozone response data from independent ozone fumigation studies with a forest ecosystem model in order simulate the effects of ambient ozone on mature hardwood forests. R...
متن کاملStand-Level Forest Structure and Avian Habitat: Scale Dependencies in Predicting Occurrence in a Heterogeneous Forest
We explored the role of stand-level forest structure and spatial extent of forest sampling in models of avian occurrence in northern hardwood-conifer forests for two species: black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens) and ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillus). We estimated site occupancy from point counts at 20 sites and characterized the forest structure at these sites at three spatial ext...
متن کاملForest Stand Structure and Development: Implications for Forest Management
A general premise of forest managers is that modern silviculture should be based, in large part, on natural disturbance patterns and species' adaptations to these disturbances. An understanding of forest stand dynamics is therefore a prerequisite to sound forest management. This paper provides a brief overview of forest stand development, stand structures, and disturbance regimes and discusses ...
