The economics of salvage harvesting and reforestation in British Columbia's mountain pine beetle-affected forests / [by] Brian Peter and Bryan Bogdanski. : Fo143-2/425E

Cover image

British Columbia’s mountain pine beetle salvage and reforestation decisions involve a wide range of complex social, economic, and ecological trade-offs. This report summarizes the current treatment options in beetle-affected areas and outlines the many costs, benefits, and risks associated with managing beetle-killed stands. It also demonstrates some important economic aspects of this issue by comparing the discounted costs and benefits of treatment choices under different sets of post-outbreak assumptions.
