forest rent theory的意思|示意

'

Forest rent theory puts forward a perspective of analyzing forestry development in terms of society, economy and ecology. It argues that timber production should be viewed as a commodity that has a certain “rent” associated with it, which is the value of the timber to the owner of the forest, beyond the cost of the resources used in the production and harvesting of the wood. The theory states that any economic benefits from forestry that go beyond this rent should be used to benefit society.

The most common application of the theory is in relation to the management of public and communal forests. The rent from timber harvesting is shared between the society and the forest owners, with the society receiving a share that is determined by the government. This rent is used to fund services for the benefit of the communities living in and around the forest and also for investment in other forest related activities such as reforestation, conservation and fire prevention.

The theory is also applicable to private forests, where the rent is usually the difference between the harvested timber value and the costs of harvesting and managing the forest. The rent is then shared between the owner of the forest, the government and other stakeholders.

Forest rent theory has been used in many countries to help manage forests in a sustainable and equitable manner. It helps to ensure that forests are managed in a way that benefits both society and the environment.
