Abstract

Contrary to the assertions of many, the rotation which maximizes the net present value of timber receipts may be longer than the rotation which maximizes average annual physical yield. This circumstance may arise even in a very simple economic model once regeneration costs are recognized. Along with a theoretical comparison of the two rotation criteria, an example using Pinus patula plantations in Tanzania demonstrates the potential practical importance of this conclusion.
