A forest-level model is developed that estimates how policies towards hybrid poplar plantations on private and public land impact harvest levels and values for producing biofuel feedstock. We simulate three policy changes: (i) permitting an increase

Prevention of forest loss is a high priority in Pakistan, where catastrophic flooding in 1992 and 2010 has been linked to deforestation. Under the United Nation's REDD+ program, new incentive schemes are developed to encourage forest protection and r

Cellulosic biorefineries require a stable supply of low-cost feedstock. In this paper we conduct a financial analysis of hybrid poplar as a purpose grown biofuel feedstock. We analyzed growth rates and costs for producing hybrid poplar in the Peace R

The effect of topography on wildfire distribution in the Canadian Rockies has been the subject of debate. We suspect the size of the study area, and the assumption fire return intervals are distributed as a Weibull distribution used in many previous

The choice of a baseline against which to evaluate changes in carbon stocks is a critical component of any forest carbon offset market. In this paper, we use a discrete dynamic programming model and data from a lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Douglas

Since the end of the twentieth century, there have been some notable changes in the economic climate facing forest products companies operating in the boreal mixedwood forest in Canada: low product prices, a strong Canadian dollar, and increasing rec

Indigenous groups in many parts of the world are often forest dependent societies, and thereby may also play a disproportionate role in protecting and managing threatened forest resources. Taking the Kalasha indigenous group of Pakistan as a test cas

We present an analytical model for determination of the economically optimal harvest age of a forest stand considering timber value, and the value of carbon fluxes in living biomass, dead organic matter, and wood products pools. Through comparative s

Carbon sequestration in forests is being considered as a mechanism to slow or reverse the trend of increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We present results from a dynamic programming model used to determine the optimal harves
Forest regeneration standards: are they limiting management options for Alberta's boreal mixedwoods?

Regeneration standards in Alberta have developed incrementally over the last 40 years to ensure that cutover areas are regenerated with commercially valuable species that will contribute to timber yield. These standards have been controversial for th
