  • Comparison of spatial modelling frameworks for the identification of future afforestation in New Zealand

    Open AccessThales A P West, Juan J Monge et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2020

    In 2018, New Zealand announced an ambitious effort to plant one billion trees by 2028 as part of its climate change mitigation plan and Paris Agreement targets for 2030 and 2050. Afforestation will be promoted through a series of incentives, including payments for carbon sequestration linked to New Zealand’s Emission Trading Scheme. Given that afforestation will be pursued voluntarily, the identification of future afforestation areas is paramount…

  • Global timber investments, 2005 to 2017

    Open AccessFrederick Cubbage, Frederick W Cubbage et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2020Cited by: 1References: 6

    We estimated timber investment returns for 22 countries and 54 species/management regimes in 2017, for a range of global timber plantation species and countries at the stand level, using capital budgeting criteria, without land costs, at a real discount rate of 8%. Returns were estimated for the principal plantation countries in the Americas—Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Paraguay, Mexico, and the United States—as well as…

  • Valuing biodiversity enhancement in New Zealand's planted forests

    Richard T Yao, Richard Yao et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2014Cited by: 11References: 3

    Planted forests are increasingly recognised for the provision of habitats for species threatened with extinction. Despite this development, a limited number of empirical studies have been undertaken to estimate the economic value of this ecosystem service. New Zealand's planted forests provide habitat to at least 118 threatened species. These forests can be managed to increase the abundance of many of these species. We present findings from surve…

  • Non-market valuation in New Zealand

    Richard Yao, Pamela KavalARTICLEAnnals of Leisure Research2011References: 4

    Non-market valuation (NMV) is recognized as an important tool in environmental policy decision-making worldwide. In this paper, we investigate the history of NMV, specifically in relation to New Zealand, by compiling and reviewing all available published NMV studies prior to the year 2006. The results illustrate a significant increase in the number of studies, specifically those requested by government agencies, following the passage of the New Z…
