Croan [22] also evaluated the potential of certain mushroom species to utilize loblolly pine woody debris. 9 Pine straw production over time for a slash pine stand in the southern United States (from [19]). 26 2. ) mushrooms, for up to six years. Improving mushroom production on a forest manager’s property can enhance their cash flow or the rate of return on their asset. Forest managers can utilize downed material of many different species as growing media for mushroom spawn. Assuming that the downed logs are appropriately cured and of an adequate size, they can be inoculated with mushroom spawn.
STRUCTURAL EVALUATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES base ages are used, depending on the tree species under consideration, common base ages in the southern United States are 25 years (newer models and plantations) and 50 years (older models and natural stands). In the western United States common base ages are 50 and 100 years. Base ages generally are placed after “SI” for communication purposes. For example, SI25 ¼ 65 suggests that the site index, base age 25, is 65 for a stand of trees. In other words, we should expect that the dominant and codominant trees in this stand will be (or were) 65 feet tall when the stand is (or was) 25 years old.
The allocation of scarce resources is a central concept of economics and inherent in forest planning and management [36]. As a result, typically the strongest arguments in the development of policies and plans of action involve economic analyses [37]. No matter what our interest in natural resource management, we should be able to understand the concepts behind economic analyses. As an example of the need to perform an economic analysis associated with potential forest management activities, consider the following discussion of evaluating invasive species control options.
