This report explores a number of contemporary issues as background to the emerging interest in using forest policies to mitigate global climate change. The intent of most of these policies is to sequester carbon in the forests of the United States. Most of the policies are variations on past forest policies explored as part of the Resources Planning Act (RPA) process. The analysis projects the effects of alternative scenarios on forest area, inventory, harvest, and prices (stumpage and product), as well as welfare effects of alternative mitigation strategies. The market impacts are analyzed by using the TAMM and ATLAS forest inventory modeling systems.
