Abstract
Forest management affecting most of the world’s forests is based on the
implementation of forestry interventions. Their execution requires preliminary
preparation based on technical documents, submission of the administrative
procedures, and the execution of the forest harvesting. Market value of wood is
achieved by determining the most probable transformation value. It is obtained as
the difference of the revenues derived from the sale of marketable timber net of
all the costs involved in transforming the tree into salable products. The chapter
provides a theoretical framework of the evaluation approaches and the calculation
methods of the timber value, considering the different forms of assignment of
the forestry intervention to the logging company, as well as the types of ground
and the types of product achievable based on the level of mechanization.
