Resumen
Descripción
The application of sustainable forest management will have a cost and volume impact on the wood-supply. This study examines the evidence presented thus far in the academic literature, case-studies and field projects. For the purposes of the literature review under the related topics of biodiversity conservation and wood certification is also examined. The initial impacts in terms of harvest volume, at least in the short term ranges between 5 and 25 percent. However, the expectation is that the l onger run supply will increase through its wider application. Few studies, journals or field projects report the cost impacts but preliminary evidence suggests that they are expected to rise.
