Abstract

This paper provides an analysis of the resource interactions implied by the forest planning alternatives for the National Forest System. It is concluded that current levels of production and environmental conditions can be maintained at current cost levels, and that even a modest scenario for future production increases will imply a substantial increase in cost.
