Improving the Efficiency of Timber Supply While Saving the Fish: The Umpqua Land Exchange Project
نویسنده
چکیده
Western land development initiatives by the federal government led to a fragmented ownership in much of western Oregon. A project to examine the feasibility of voluntary land exchanges between public and private owners to increase ecological health of fish and other species in Umpqua Basin while maintaining timber supply has been initiated. A landscape model has been developed to quantitatively link geomorphic and management related variables to species habitat suitability so that solutions can be systematically assessed. A pilot study to develop and test the methodology has been completed and data compilation is in the final stages for the first 675,000 acre (2700 sq. km) analysis unit.

The Economics of Timber Supply: an Analytical Synthesis of Modeling Approaches
The joint supply of timber and other services from forest environments plays a central role in most forest land debates. This paper defines a general conceptual model of timber supply that provides the context for discussing both individual harvest choice and aggregate supply models. While the structure and breadth of these models has developed considerably over the last twenty years, unresolve...
متن کاملDeforestation , Production Intensity and Land Use Under Insecure Property Rights
We propose a framework with endogenous allocation of land between agricultural production, sustainable forest management, and unsustainable forest exploitation in the form of illegal logging to explore deforestation and agricultural and timber supplies when property rights are insecure. Uncertainty over property rights arises through risk of confiscation on sustainably-managed forest land, and ...
