Mitigation potential and cost in tropical forestry - relative role for agroforestry
Makundi, Willy R.; Sathaye, Jayant A. - 2009
This paper summarizes studies of carbon mitigation potential (MP) and costs of forestry options in seven developing … forestland for other uses such as agriculture and pasture. By using data on estimated carbon sequestration, emission avoidance … and potential area currently engaged in agriculture, but they pose unique challenges for carbon and cost accounting due to …

Natural Disasters and Agriculture: Individual Risk Preferences towards Flooding
Sauer, Johannes - 2011
This study contributes to the understanding of behavioural responses to climate change induced extreme weatherevents. It suggest a microeconometric method for measuring flooding related risk preferences of affectedindividuals. The method is outlined using the empirical case of agricultural...

Market impacts of hypothetical fuel treatment thinning programs on federal lands in the western United States.
Ince, Peter J.; Spelter, Henry; Skog, Kenneth E.; … - 2008
This paper addresses the economics of forest fuel thinning programs on federal lands in the U.S. West, and presents a model of regional timber and product market impacts. The issue of economics is vital to the debate about fire management, and this paper presents market implications of two...

Market impacts of a multiyear mechanical fuel treatment program in the U.S.
Prestemon, Jeffrey P.; Abt, Karen L.; Huggett, Robert J. - 2008
We describe a two-stage model of global log and chip markets that evaluates the spatial and temporal economic effects of government-subsidized fire-related mechanical fuel treatment programs in the U.S. West and South. The first stage is a goal program that allocates subsidies according to fire...

Ecosystem services: Foundations, opportunities, and challenges for the forest products sector.
Patterson, Trista M.; Coelho, Dana L. - 2009
The ecosystem service concept has been proposed as a meaningful framework for natural resource management. In theory it holds concomitant benefit and consequence for the forest product sector. However, numerous barriers impede practitioners from developing concrete and enduring responses to...

Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy in a multiowner province: a simulation experiment.
Thompson, J.R.; Johnson, K.N.; Lennette, M.; Spies, T.A.; … - 2006
Using a landscape simulation model, we examined ecological and economic implications of forest policies designed to emulate the historical fire regime across the 2 x 10⁶ ha Oregon Coast Range. Simulated policies included two variants of the current policy and three policies reflecting aspects...
