Losses in product values due tofusi form rust , caused by Cronart ium quercuum (Berk.) Miyabe ex Shiraifi sp. fusiforme, were estimatedfrom four, 2.5-yr-old slash pine, Pinus elliotii Engelm., plantations planted in southern Mississippi over a range of sites with different growth potential and expected rust infection levels. The percentage infected stems rangedfrom 2.5% to 62% at age 2.5. The c...

The southeastern United States is widely regarded as a leading region for intensively managed, short rotation pine forests. One drawback of this intensive approach the production more juvenile wood with lower quality properties that are less desirable solid end uses. Improved construction sectors (e.g., housing) demand larger diameter sawtimbers. Delaying final harvest allows higher wood; howev...

An econometric analysis was conducted with the intent of discovering the relationship between contractual provisions, as specified in timber sale notices, with high bids received for those timber sales. Specifically, the goal of this study was to determine the relationship between high bids for timber tracts and certain contractual stipulations that have not previously been explored to any grea...

Fadian, L. 2004. Optimization of Forest Management Decision Making under Conditions of Risk. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1401-6230. ISBN 91-576-6717-9. It is well known that decision making problem solving in forest management involves risks from different sources. In many cases, the incorporation of risk will change the optimal decisions in different ways. Usually, stochastic optimization mode...
