Extended Data Fig. 2: Economic effects of adjusted rotation lengths.
From: Rising cost of disturbances for forestry in Europe under climate change
Changing rotation periods from their economic optimal values can be used in silviculture to reduce disturbance risks, and to improve other forest functions such as forest carbon storage and habitat value. Changes in the rotation period have two effects: (1) they result in economic losses because the rotation period is no longer at its economically optimal value (blue bars), and (2) they affect the economic costs of disturbance (orange bars). Bars indicate average values, whileE error bars indicate the standard deviation (N = 300), and points are the net effect and its standard deviation of both economic implications. A positive net effect means an overall increase in forest values compared to default rotation lengths.
