A firm grounding in economics is integral to sound forest management, investment, policies, and practices. Forest Economics, Revised and Expanded Edition, offers a full revision of the widely used 2011 text. It covers the basic economic concepts, principles, and constructs and shows how these are applied in private and public forestry decision making.

This comprehensive edition – which systematically covers modern forest management, timberland investment, and policy issues – contains new data, examples, and applications of economic principles throughout, along with updated references and study questions.
