Forest resource extraction by local communities: A comparative dynamic analysis

Gunatilake, Herath M.; Chakravorty, Ujjayant - 2000

Much of the world's gene pool is located in tropical rainforests, which are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Proper management of protected forests is crucial to avoid further loss of forest resources and biodiversity. Resource extraction by local communities has been cited as a major...

Trade liberalisation, changing forest management and roundwood trade in Europe

Kangas, Kari - 2001

This paper analyses the development of roundwood trade in Europe in the context of changes in supply and trading patterns due to liberalisation in European transitional economies (CEEC), nature-oriented forest management as well as prospective EU enlargement. First, it is studied whether...

A model of optimal labour and soil use with shifting cultivation

Pascual, Unai; Barbier, Edward - 2001

This paper analyses the relationship between rural poverty and soil degradation in the context of a shifting cultivating community. A deterministic optimal control model demonstrates how a representative household's labour allocation affects the natural resource base on which its livelihood...

A comparison of the global warming effects of wood fuels and fossil fuels taking albedo into account

Holtsmark, Bjart - 2014

Traditionally, wood fuels, like other bioenergy sources, have been considered carbon neutral because the amount of CO2 released can be offset by CO2 sequestration due to the regrowth of the biomass. Thus, until recently, most studies assigned a global warming potential (GWP) of zero to CO2...

Carbon dynamics related to tree planting on new areas in Norway

Holtsmark, Bjart - 2016

Extensive tree planting on new areas has been suggested as a climate policy measure in Norway. This paper presents some preliminary calculations related to carbon dynamics of such a measure when the tree planting takes place on areas with relative young birch forests. The main finding, which is...

Should Faustmann forecast climate change?

Gars, Johan; Spiro, Daniel - 2019

Climate change is predicted to substantially alter forest growth. Optimally, forest owners should take these future changes into account when making rotation decisions today. However, the fundamental uncertainty surrounding climate change makes predicting these shifts hard. Hence, this paper...

Bosques en Bolivia: Una estimación espacial de los costos de la deforestación

Gonzalez Rocabado, Alejandra - 2019

Deforestation in Bolivia has increased considerably during the last few decades, which causes carbon dioxide emissions, biodiversity loss, changes to the hydrologic cycle, among others. This study pretends to estimate the impacts and costs of that deforestation. Since each variablehas its own...
