Practical economics of forest ecosystem management: case of Ukrainian Carpathians

Problem Addressed: Longterm planning issues in forest management in Carpathians
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Enrich discussion of issues not addressed in recent formal planning
Key Findings: Planning systems need major improvements; financial soundness of "back to Nature" not certain
Recommendation: Assess practical economic issues more deeply; consider market context

Estimating timberland parcel value in the northeast United States using acreage and commercial timber value

Problem Addressed: Evaluating market value of timberland can be difficult because of the various factors that influence it
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Assess the relationship between the sale price, commercial timber value (CTV), acreage, and other factors
Key Findings: A strong relationship between sale price, CTV, and acreage was found (R2 = 0.71) with limited variation attributable to year or state
Recommendation: Developed equation may be useful for evaluating future land transactions and establishing baselines in the region

Assessing Silviculture Research Priorities For Maine Using Wood Supply Analysis

Problem Addressed: Determining silviculture research priorities using wood supply analysis
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Identify the highest priorities for silviculture research in Maine
Key Findings: Suggested ranking of research priorities among the three silvicultural treatments examined was precommercial thinning > vegetation management > tree planting
Recommendation: Based on long-term wood supply impact, the highest silviculture research priorities should be on pre commercial thinning, vegetation management, and tree planting

The use of composite estimators for estimating forest biomass and growth from permanent sample plots established by the angle count method

Problem Addressed: Using angle count sampling for permanent plots can create issues when computing growth
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Provide a new estimator for determining growth on remeasured plots using an angle gauge
Key Findings: The Bitterlich estimator is a special case of a composite estimate between the new variable basal area factor and its antithetic counterpart
Recommendation: Additivity and efficiency are possible when permanent sample plots are established with a point sampling design
