The method indirectly estimates production function coefficients using a simultaneous, constrained supply and demand system. From these estimates the value of the marginal product (VMP) of public research involving softwood plywood is used to calculate a marginal internal rate of return (MIRR) on publicly funded research. Whereas similar studies in the agricultural literature use a short-run VMP based solely on the initial impact of R&D, we develop a long-run VMP, which incorporates research impacts over time. A short-run VMP is also defined, however, and compared to the results reported in the agricultural literature. Estimates of the short-run VMP for softwood plywood are similar to other aggregate research cases, such as corn and poultry. The estimated long-run VMP, however, is large; the most conservative assumptions yield an estimated VMP of public research in softwood plywood of $33.11 in 1967 dollars. The MIRR is also large with a lower estimate of 236%. For.

Nominal age of northern red oaks at the beginning of the study was 25 yr. Mortality rates between ages 25-55 and between ages 55-85 decreased with each increase in crown class (i.e., mortality of dominant is < codominant is < intermediate is < suppressed). Ascension rates into higher crown classes increased with each increase in crown class between ages 25-55 and between ages 55-85. Mortality rates of dominant, codominant, and intermediate trees were higher between ages 55-85 than between ages 25-55. The cause of the increased mortality was likely periodic episodes of defoliation which began after age 55. Within several diameter classes at age 25, survival through age 55 and the proportion found in upper canopy at age 55 increased with crown class. Mortality rates between ages 25-55 were lower for the largest northern red oak in a sprout clump than for lesser sprouts and for those trees which were not part of a sprout clump. There was no significant difference in canopy position transition rates between ages 55-85 for the largest red oaks in a sprout clump and those trees which were not part of a sprout clump. However, mortality rates between ages 55-85 of lesser trees in a sprout clump were significantly higher than for either the largest sprout in a clump or for those trees which were not part of a sprout clump. Survival of suppressed and intermediate 25-yr-old red oak was negatively related to the number of oaks in dominant and codominant crown classes. Crown class can be a powerful tool for determining the future status of maturing northern red oaks in southern New England. For.

One-year-old bareroot seedlings artificially inoculated with P. tinctorius and control seedlings with Thelephora terrestris ectomycorrhizae were outplanted on a surface-mined site in Tennessee. The site had previously been contoured and hydroseeded with a mixture of herbaceous ground cover species. A soil fertility variable was imposed in the study by broadcast fertilization at outplanting of one-half of the plots of each mycorrhizal treatment at the rate of 336 kg/ha NPK. After 7 years, survival and growth of trees previously inoculated with P. tinctorius were significantly improved relative to control trees. Fertilization elicited a significant reduction in survival and a negligible growth response in trees of both mycorrhizal treatments due primarily to its stimulation of competing herbaceous species. During the third growing season, xylem pressure potential of seedlings with P. tinctorius ectomycorrhizae was significantly less negative than that of control seedlings during a prolonged period of moisture stress. Analyses of foliar samples collected during the third growing season revealed that seedlings infected by P. tinctorius had more NO3 and less Zn in their needles than control seedlings. The results of this study provide evidence that the benefits afforded loblolly pine on surface mines by P. tinctorius ectomycorrhizae include enhanced absorption of water as well as increased uptake of nutrients, and these benefits are not compromised by the presence of competing herbaceous species.

First, operational cut block scheduling methods based on map-coloring theory are used to sample the number of passes and the percentage of area-per-pass that can be harvested without violating adjacency and exclusion period constraints for a given set of harvesting guidelines. These results are defined as spatial approximation rules, and they are subsequently used to control harvest rates within a spatial approximation model. In test cases, the multiple-pass harvesting technique used in the spatial approximation model appears to closely estimate actual cut block schedules. Two major advantages of the spatial approximation technique are: (1) the onerous task of designing and scheduling cut blocks for an entire forest is not necessary, and (2) policy analysis is enhanced because the spatial approximation rules can be quickly altered to reflect different harvesting guidelines. Model calibration and optimization of harvest timings are identified as areas requiring further research. FOR.

The results showed that the expected basal area of hardwoods, mainly beech, was substantially higher in the long run than that predicted by the deterministic model. A parallel stochastic model of prices was also developed from past data. It showed that real prices had no trend but that they were autocorrelated over time. The stochastic stand and price models were simulated simultaneously to obtain the probabilities of transition between stand and market states. This transition probability matrix was used in Markov decision-process models to calculate the best decision in each possible stand and market state. The policies examined included maximizing net present value, or expected tree diversity, production, or annual returns, subject to constraints on net present value, expected tree diversity, and basal area. A general mathematical programming method is presented to optimize economic or ecological objective functions subject to multiple constraints with or without time discounting. In the French Jura context, the solutions suggested that high net present value could be obtained while maintaining the average basal area near its current level, and keeping a high level of tree diversity. Accounting for risk called for more intense harvesting to raise revenues, and it led to stands that were much more diverse than suggested by deterministic solutions. FOR.

For such an application it is customary to use adjacency constraints to produce a harvesting plan. These constraints control the availability for harvest of specific units relative to the harvesting of certain adjacent units. However, such constraints are difficult to formulate and often precipitate major difficulties in the implementation of the solution algorithm. A new concept, a nuclear set, is introduced. This concept allows the unit-specific aspects of the problem to be analyzed in an insightful manner. Any adjacency violation can be detected in relation to these nuclear sets. Suitable adjacency branches can be implemented to remove these violations. The form of these branches derives from the same nuclear sets. A remarkably small number of these branches are required to obtain a feasible solution. These ideas are incorporated into a column generation and constraint generation model. This new forest harvesting model solves the clearfell area restriction problem in an exact sense. Results are included for numerical trials involving simulated data representing moderately sized applications with a planning horizon of up to one rotation. The output from these trials suggests that this algorithm is suitable for large commercial applications. Several applications of 1,600 units are solved over 25 time periods with multiple green-up.","PeriodicalId":12749,"journal":{"name":"Forest Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140566227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
