Economic interpretation of lost due to improper stump-height of trees in Nepal

Abstract

I Nepal, forest covers 40.36% of the total land area of the country, which is almost 10.0% greater than the global average. On the other hand ,the forest area is lower than the average global per capita forest land available (FAO/UNEP, 2020; DoF 2017; DFRS, 2015). Within this forest area, the average number of stems greater than ten cm diameter is 430/ha (DFRS, 2015). Moreover, despite increasing efforts of the government and non-government actors, the mean stem volume per unit area of Nepal was decreased (DoF, 2017;DFRS, 2015).
