Dear Netters:
In 1990, the following table was constructed during a workshop
held in Corvallis, Oregon. It was published in the following Proceedings.
International Workshop on Large-scale Reforestation. 1991
Jack Winjum and Paul Schroeder (eds).
EPA Environmental Research Laboratory, Corvallis, OR.
EPA/600/9-91/014
These data now need to be updated. If you have current data on
(A) average cost/ha and
(B) average Mean Annual Increment (MAI) at harvest,
please send me an update (see below).
I can convert most currency but please indicate
which $ or currency you are reporting. I will summarize the data for
netters and will use the updated table in a paper. I can use data from any
country.
Thanks for your help.
