Linking Harvest Choices to Timber Supply
Aggregate timber supply by ownership was investigated for a small region by applying stand-level harvest choice models to a representative sample of stands and then aggregating to regional totals using the area-frame of the forest survey. Timber harvest choices were estimated as probit models for three ownership categories in coastal plain southern pine stands of North Carolina using individual...
متن کاملGlobal Drivers of Russian Timber Harvest
Russian forest resources are important for global carbon cycling. In contrast to traditional analyses that focus on the harvest and direct use of Russian timber resources (a.k.a. production-based accounting), this study investigates how the consumption of nations drives Russian timber harvest (a.k.a. consumption-based accounting or the Russian timber footprint). China is the biggest direct impo...
متن کاملOptimization Model of Selective cutting for timber Harvest Planning based on a Simulated Annealing Approach
An optimization model for Timber Harvest Planning (THP) is used to form harvest areas with the objective of maximizing the tree harvest volume subject to harvest regulations. Most optimization models for THP currently in use are based on clear cutting and restricted to adjacency constraints to prevent the creation of large clear-cut openings in the forest. However, an optimization model based o...
متن کاملA Pre-harvest Timber Valuation System
Sawmills require specific information on the volume, the number and the diameter classes of different types of log assortments that could potentially be cut from a stand which the mill intends to tender for or harvest. Knowledge of the consequences of adopting a particular cross-cutting strategy would also enable mills to identify the optimum combination of products to be harvested from a stand...
متن کاملEffects of timber harvest on carbon pools in Ozark forests
We quantified and compared carbon (C) pools at a Missouri Ozark experimental forest 8 years after different harvest treatments. Total C pools were 182, 170, and 130 Mg C ha–1 for the control (no-harvest management; NHM), singletree, uneven-age management (UAM), and clearcut even-age management (EAM) stands, respectively. Harvesting reduced the live tree C pool by 31% in the UAM, 93% in EAM stan...
