12. Forestry Economics questions well
answered
Economic view of forestry - ANS ✔✔The land under the forest is also important and has and
impact; ie. should cut down the trees.
Current Annual Increment (CAI) - ANS ✔✔Incremental growth in timber column in a given time
(ie. Annual Incremental Growth)
"marginal concept"
Mean Annual Increment (MAI) - ANS ✔✔Average growth in timber volume per year. Total
volume at time of cutting divided by the length of rotation.
"Average concept"
Maximum Sustainable Yield in Forestry - ANS ✔✔volume of wood produced per unit area is
maximized over a single or repeated harvests
CAI - ANS ✔✔Slope of the forest yield curve
MAI - ANS ✔✔The slope of straight line from point on curve to origin
"point at which forest is growing the fastest"
