2021 Forestland Biomass Production Costs for the 2024 Billion Ton Analysis

This dataset contains harvesting, chipping, and production cost data for forestland production by region and forest harvest system. The dataset supports Biomass from the forested land base analysis in the BT23 (Davis et al., 2024) and subsequent modeling using the Forest Sustainable and Economic Analysis Model (ForSEAM). The cost data was updated by Burton English and is in 2014 dollars and 2021 dollars. Data sources can be found in the accompanying PDF, ‘2021 Biomass Production Costs for the 2024 Billion Ton Analysis’, and the details can be found in the accompanying Microsoft Word file.

Cost_by_FHS_and_Region.csv is a comma-separated file that holds the following variables: Forest_Harvest_Systems: This is for different forest silvicultural and harvest methods.
Region: This is for different production cost zones of the CONUS as defined by ForSEAM.
Slope_over_40%: This is a binary variable to indicate if the slope exceeds 40%.
CutToLength: This is a binary variable to indicate if the cut-to-length method is used.
Cut: This indicates the forest management practice of either thinning or clearcutting.
Type: This indicates the type of forest.
