Project Objectives
Impact of MPB on harvest levels and other forest values such as wildlife habitat
Evaluate how silviculture can reduce the impacts
More specifically: When, and by how much, will the beetle affect timber supply Recommend and assess potential ways to improve timber
supply and non-timber values Prioritize spending

Defining a Base Case
Updated netdown; Updated resultant file, which includes an updated
inventory; New analysis units and yield tables; Recalculation of the PSI for each resultant polygon; Old growth management area (OGMAs); Disturbing the inoperable; Updated UWR modelling; and MPB projections to 2015.

Merchantability
A tool for describing the relative economics of timber harvesting opportunities across a forested landbase.
Merchantability = Product Value – Operating Costs
20
Merchantability- Product Value
Product value approximates the selling price for lumber and chips
Product Value is a function of: Site Index Species Stocking Age
21
Merchantability- Operating CostsCosts involved in operating, building roads, harvesting
wood, manufacturing products and reforestation
Operating cost is a function of: Slope Terrain Volume/ha Cycle time Species BEC zone Stocking Age
22
Merchantability- Index
•Each stand given a Merchantability Class
•Summarized by graphs and maps
Merchantability Class Merchantability Range Ranking SchemeHigh Return Stands >/= $45.00 0Moderate Return Stands $30.00-<$45.00 1Economic Stands $15.00 - < $30.00 2Marginal Stands $0 - <$15.00 3Deficit Stands -$15.00 - <$0.00 4Moderate Deficit Stands -$30.00 - <$15.00 5High Deficit Stands -$45.00 - < -$30.00 6Severe Deficit Stands <-$45.00 7
