DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe potential effects of wood chip mill harvests on forest management practices of NIPF landowners in North Carolina were analyzed. The study estimated the impacts of changes in timber market returns to NIPF owners. Economic welfare effects of producer and consumer surpluses attributable to market adjustments were also calculated. Potential savings from reduced site preparation costs from cleaner harvests were estimated. Additionally, the potential changes in financial returns to growing timber with wood chip markets were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses of typical forest management returns. A second component of this research involved the analysis of archival tax data on the North Carolina Use-Value Property Tax Program. An analysis of the effects of property values, property taxes and population density on landowner decisions to sell, subdivide, or withdraw their properties from the use-value program in North Carolina was conducted. Parcel level tax data from nine counties representing the three geophysical regions and urban levels of North Carolina for the period 1987 through 1999 were collected and analyzed using logistic regression.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis research endeavor consisted of two distinct efforts. First, following a literature review of the characteristics, objectives, and incentive programs available to nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners, the potential effects of wood chip mill harvests on forest management practices of these landowners in North Carolina were analyzed. The study estimated NIPF pulpwood harvest volumes and the impacts of changes in timber market returns to NIPF owners. Economic welfare effects of producer and consumer surpluses attributable to market adjustments were also calculated. Potential savings from reduced site preparation costs from cleaner harvests associated with chip mill markets were estimated. Additionally, the potential changes in financial returns to growing timber with wood chip markets were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses of typical forest management returns. Given the existing market structure and price elasticities for timber, increased timber demand and better markets would consistently increase economic returns for both timber buyers and sellers. In absolute terms, forest industry (buyers) had higher benefits while NIPF owners (sellers) had higher percentage benefits. Based on 1990 trends in timber production and prices, some NIPF owners have experienced decreased returns from softwood stumpage sales. Increasing hardwood pulpwood timber production and prices have yielded average statewide incremental returns of $595,000 per year for NIPF owners. Approximately 80% of the total value accrued to owners in the coastal plain, but the largest average annual percentage increase per year (9.9%) was received for NIPF hardwood pulpwood harvests in the mountains. Higher timber prices and shorter rotations for growing softwood timber led to sawtimber production with a chip component having the greatest returns for NIPF owners, followed by chipping the stand entirely at a shorter rotation, and last, production of sawtimber alone. These alternatives ge.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKResearchers involved with the Pacific Northwest (PNW) Research Station Sustainable Wood Production Initiative have outlined some of the barriers and opportunities for sustainable wood production in the region. Sustainable wood production is defined as the capacity of forests to produce wood, products, and services on a long-term basis and in the context of human activity and use. The collective findings of these papers suggest that in the future, the regions wood supply will primarily come from private land, and the barriers and opportunities related to sustainable wood production will have more to do with future markets, harvest potential, land use changes, and sustainable forestry options than with traditional sustained yield outputs. Private lands in the PNW should be able to sustain recent historical harvest levels over the next 50 years, but regional changes in sawmilling capacity and uncertain market conditions may affect wood production in the region. Public perceptions of forestry, land use changes, and alternative forestry options are also discussed. These papers present preliminary findings and proposals for future work designed to help us understand the key issues related to sustainable wood production.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKS2This paper is an attempt to trace the usefulness and limitations of economic analysis as a guide to timber management. It builds upon an earlier analysis of major timber-management opportunities in Pennsylvania (Webster 1960), applying the results to a particular area in the state. It attempts to view the analysis through the eyes of a perceptive forest manager, asking where and how this analysis has been useful and where and how has it fallen short. S3.
