First-best optimal forest sector carbon policy is examined. Using a comprehensive forest sector model with a detailed carbon cycle section we show that the renewability and carbon neutrality arguments do not warrant emission free treatment of forest bioenergy. However, under the biomass stock...

We study the potential of tropical multi-age multi-species forests for sequestering carbon in response to financial incentives from REDD+. The use of reduced impact logging techniques (RIL) allows a forest owner to apply for carbon credits whereas the use of conventional logging techniques (CL)...

We study forestry in the Sámi people homeland region to understand an ongoing conflict between conventional forest … husbandry, and a flexible optimization between rotation forestry (cf. clearcuts) and forestry that maintains continuous forest … cover. We show that the profitability of conventional forestry is based on utilizing existing forest stands, an outcome that …
