Key Economic Figures in Forest Economics

Explore the economic value of forests, including extractive and non-extractive values, ecosystem services, timber, and non-timber products. Understand preservation value, labor-capital relationships, decision trees, and market dynamics. Figures adapted from "Forest Economics" by Daowei Zhang and Peter H. Pearse (UBC Press, 2011).
