 The Ecologically
Sustainable Production of Forest Resources (ESP) team is an interdisciplinary
group of 8 researchers and support staff who conduct research on the
technical characteristics of forest products and the analysis, design and
implementation of forest management activities. As a team within the Human and Natural Resources
Interaction Program, we consider the costs associated with implementing
treatments as well as the potential revenue derived from the removal of
forest products. We are interested in a wide range of benefits and costs
associated with forest management, some of which are related to traditional
forest products, others are associated with non-market values that people
desire from the forest. We conduct analysis of how different types of
management activities, including wildland fuel prescriptions, may alter
forest structure in the western United States and what this means in terms of
sustaining different ecological, economic and social functions through time.
