Understanding private woodland owner (PWO) timber harvesting behavior is essential for
predicting potential timber supply, as PWOs could be an increasingly important source. This …

Woody biomass has been identified as a source of dispatchable, renewable energy. Private
lands supply the majority of the wood-based pellets that is produced in the southeastern …

States. While current rates of timber harvest are generally sustainable, there is considerable …

Logging is a larger cause of adult tree mortality in northeastern US forests than all other
causes of mortality combined. We used Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data to develop …

Given the large proportion of many forested landbases comprised of non-industrial private
owners, there is a great need to characterize their willingness-to-harvest (WTH) bioenergy …

An important and potentially underused source of biomass that could be utilized in energy
production is from nonindustrial private woodlands. We employ the Theory of Planned …
