Forestland investment has surged in the past few decades as a
result of land ownership change in the forestry industry.
Timberland investment and management organizations and real estate
investment trusts have bought up land and resources that were
divested by vertically integrated forest products companies. This
book provides a seminal coverage of this seismic shift in the
industry, exploring the philosophy, driving factors, valuation,
theory, research, implementation, practice, and effects of
forestland investment. Across 15 chapters the book reviews the
history of forestland investment; discusses the optimal forest
rotation; explains timberland appraisal; examines the return
drivers of forestland; analyzes timberland index construction
methods and results; prices timberland assets; reviews financial
and real options; investigates real option values in forestland
management; evaluates timber harvest contracts; examines new
opportunities in the emerging woody bioenergy market; and
eventually offers prospects on forestland investment in the future.
It also discusses how forest carbon can be used as a nature-based
climate solution. This book is essential reading for forestry
business students and scholars, as well as practitioners and
policymakers in the industry.

Timberland ownership in the United States has changed dramatically
in the past several decades. Integrated forest products firms have
been divesting their timberlands, whereas timberland investment
management organizations (TIMOs) have been active acquirers.
Timberland return has three drivers, the biological growth, timber
price, and land price. Biological growth can be consistently
estimated, land price is correlated with inflation, while timber
price remains most unpredictable. The first part of this book
models and forecasts timber prices in 12 southern timber regions
via different time series models. The second part examines the
financial performance of private- and public-equity timberland
investments in the US using both parametric and nonparametric asset
ricing approaches. The last part investigates the option values of
investment, mothballing, reactivation, and abandonment in a
hypothetical southern pine plantation using the contingent claims
approach. The results can help investors better understand
commercial timberland assets in the US.
