I would like to know the main advantages of ecosystem services when compared to timber forest management. And what alternative of forest resources management presents greater economic returns?

The SIMWOOD project also adresses ES within forest mobilisation and, therefore, management. Take a look at http://simwood.efi.int. Our group expects to publish on this soon. Stay tuned.
As already attached the projects and papers I would like to add in comarison of timber and ecosystem services comaprison both assesment can be done seperately but timber also provide more ecosystem services during their log lifespan. The fine calculation of timber value and ecosystem services generated need to garner the economic competence in dual forest magement.
