VOJTECH PRILESKY is an academic who published a paper in 2011 entitled The cost of increasing carbon stock in a coastal Douglas-fir stand by extending forest rotation. VOJTECH PRILESKY published this work as part of a team: Prilesky, Vojtech. Here is a description of this work: The,,effect on climate of extending forest rotations is similar to that of afforestation/reforestation projects. This study attempts to model the opportunity cost that would have to be covered by carbon revenues (ie. â€zcarbon cost‟) to make delayed forest harvest economically viable. This is considered for an even-aged Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stand in coastal British Columbia. Sensitivity of carbon costs to parameters such as site productivity, log prices, discount rates, and risk buffers are examined. Results find that carbon costs for all scenarios rise with greater rotation extensions but eventually â€oeplateau†in the future. Sites of higher productivity have higher carbon costs. Higher log prices also cause carbon costs to rise. Higher discount rates cause carbon costs to rise more quickly with length of.
