Book Description
Excerpt from National Forest Timber Supply and Stumpage Markets in the Western United States In the Western United States, National Forests provide nearly 36 percent of total soft wood timber harvest. Because of this significant supply, the auction process through which the rights to harvest National Forest timber are transferred to private firms has received extensive study in the economics and forestry literature. In the context of regional timber supply, however, the timber sale is only the first of several steps in the movement of National Forest timber from woods to mill. A comprehensive under standing of the functioning of regional timber markets and the role of National Forests in a region's timber supply requires some explanation of the disposition of the sold timber, the rates at which the timber is harvested, and the interaction between National Forest and other ownerships resulting from harvest decisions. These post sale elements of National Forest supply have received only limited attention in past research.
