Book Description

Excerpt from Improve Forest Inventory With Access Data-Measure Transport Distance and Cost to Market Forest inventories, through a lack of suitable methods, have typically been unable to provide the economic data essential to long-term forestry planning for both public and private decision-makers. Yet the efficient allocation of our forest resource demands that we know as much as possible about the factors affecting its value. Because forests are generally dispersed over wide areas and at some distance from ultimate users, forest access is one of the principal determinants of value. Indeed, value can only be defined in relation to a speci fic time and place. In almost all inventories, however, forest access is either ignored completely or described only in the broadest terms.
