“…Forest parcelization, the division of large forest land with a single owner into smaller parcels that belong to multiple owners (Ko & He, 2011), negatively affects the timber production and profitability (Ferguson et al, 2015). Smaller and isolated parcels typically develop a less productive interior habitat (Best, 2002) and thus become less profitable in terms of timber production owing to economies of scale (Mehmood & Zhang, 2001).…”

“…Yet, there exist problems peculiar to log truck driving, such as driving on muddy terrains (Palander et al, 2021), weather‐dependent hauling (Misra et al, 2022), and limited backhauling opportunities (Carlsson & Rönnqvist, 2007). Furthermore, upstream timber supply chain issues go well beyond log truck driver shortage, encompassing a wide range of industry‐specific, and interconnected problems that affect carrier selection decisions of logging companies, including parcellation of the timberland (Ko & He, 2011), the quota system (Conrad IV et al, 2018b), high sawmill turnaround times (Barrett, 2001), insufficient supply chain coordination, and poor truck scheduling policies (Rönnqvist et al, 2015). Last but not least, the negative impacts of existing problems in the general logistics sector are felt even more powerfully by the logging and trucking companies as they have long suffered from losing their drivers to other industries, that is, long haul freight trucking for the retail sector (Koirala, Kizha, & De Urioste‐Stone, 2017).…”

Using a mixed methods approach, this study investigates upstream supply chain and logistics issues in the logging industry through the findings of (1) a systematic literature review and (2) an inductive and interpretive case study of Mississippi, a top timber‐producing state in the United States. First, we analyze 45 peer‐reviewed studies examining logistical challenges in the logging industry via a systematic literature review to identify existing cumulative knowledge. Then, we conduct 11 qualitative semistructured interviews with logging business owners/managers to understand better complex and interdependent logistics issues that negatively impact productivity and profitability in the upstream timber supply chain. Performing a comparative analysis of the systematic literature review results and interview findings, we propose a general conceptual framework that classifies 25 logistical challenges in three main areas. They are (1) supply chain issues, (2) company‐, and (3) industry‐specific issues. Finally, using an abductive reasoning approach, we generalize our findings by linking our conceptual framework to resource dependence theory, transaction cost economics theory, and carrier selection literature to develop propositions to guide future quantitative research efforts.

Few studies have investigated the influence of landownership on biodiversity. Therefore we analysed how the presence of forest understory plant species varied according to landownership in a broad geographical context and assessed which plant traits discriminated between species associated with state, other public or private forests. We also quantified the degree to which differences in soil type, forest management and landscape structure among ownership categories could explain the differences in species composition. Landownership, climate, soil, forest stand and landscape variables were collected on 38,751 plots located in temperate forests (5.1 Mha) in northern half of France using the French National Forest Inventory and GIS analyses. First, logistic regressions were used to determine species response to landownership after controlling for month of the plant survey and spatial autocorrelation. Relationships between plant traits and species association with landownership were then tested. Second, climate, soil, forest stand and landscape differences among ownerships were investigated. Third, species and trait responses to landownership were re-examined after controlling for month of the plant survey, spatial autocorrelation and climate, soil, forest stand and landscape variations. Of the 276 species, 69 were associated with state forests, 38 with other public forests and 85 with private forests. Species associated with state and other public forests were more often urbanophobic, ancient-forest species, barochores and myrmecochores whereas private forest species were more often nutrient-, light-demanding, urbanophilic and endozoochorous species. Differences among landownerships were detected for all the soil, climate, forest management and landscape variables investigated. However, the ownership effect remained or became significant for 131 plants after controlling for environmental variability. Landownership is not simply an administrative classification of land without ecological signification but was evidenced as a driver shaping understory plant community composition and plant traits in Northern France. These differences were partly explained by soil, management, edge and patch size effects, but land use history may help to explain the residual landownership effect. Our results have major implications on biodiversity monitoring and large-scaled conservation strategies. There is a need for deeper investigation into the impacts of land policy on biodiversity.
