| Abstract: | The selling price of conifer logs sold in the period 1979–84has been related in diminishing order of importance to: thediameter at breast height of trees from which the logs werederived, species, location, log grade and log minimum top diameter.Cash values are assigned to these aspects of valuation. The relationship between price and diameter at breast heightis linear. A generalised regression equation is given; thisis then linked to the Forestry Commission index of softwoodsawlog prices, and to conventional price-size curves used ineconomic appraisals. |
