DATA APPENDIX

In this appendix, we summarize the geographic work we undertook to estimate harvesting, transportation, and manufacturing costs as well as timber growth and yields for the FTSA of British Columbia, Canada.

Our calculations required detailed geographic data because, for example, mountainous terrain led to significant spatial variation in timber growth as well as harvesting costs, while the clustering of sawmills in specific locations and the relative sparseness of suitable roadways influenced transportation costs. Such factors suggest that any economic analyses should be for sites of small area (e.g., by the hectare which is an area 100 by 100 meters or 10,000 square meters). Also, a geographic analysis is essential to provide the site-specific data needed. Consequently, a GIS becomes very useful when analyzing, processing, storing, and presenting information at the scale necessary to support the economic analyses.
