Markets for forest products following a large disturbance : opportunities and challenges from the mountain pine beetle outbreak in western Canada / [by] Bryan Bogdanski ... [et al.]. : Fo143-2/429E-PDF
The mountain pine beetle outbreak in the Interior forests of British Columbia that began in the late 1990s continues to kill lodgepole and other pine trees across the region and into western Alberta. Beginning in 2001 the provincial government increased available timber supply on Crown-owned lands and encouraged the forest industry to focus harvesting efforts on lodgepole pine. This paper describes recent wood market trends and highlights market opportunities and limitations for MPB-killed lodgepole pine. It also highlights key information gaps and uncertainties with regard to fully understanding the possible market and industry impacts of increasing pine harvests to address the mountain pine beetle outbreak, and the subsequent decrease in future timber supply. The appendices include a comprehensive listing of elasticity estimates important to any economic analysis of wood product markets.
