Forest Value: More than Commercial - Response. Barrett, C. B.; Zhou, M.; Reich, P. B.; Crowther, T. W.; and Liang, J. 354(6319):1541–1542.
Paper doi abstract bibtex [Excerpt] Paul and Knoke address the commercial value and profitability of forest biodiversity, which differs fundamentally from the economic value that we outlined in our Research Article. [...] Our estimates pertain to the sole contribution of tree species diversity, as it exists today, to global forest productivity, from which the economic value accrues. Our analysis – which includes nonmarket values not commonly captured in commercial forestry but excludes the contribution of forest biodiversity to carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, and aesthetic and cultural values – reflects only a small portion of the true economic value of forest diversity at a global scale.
