Another aspect of forest economics is forest investment analysis. Surveys have shown that many forest landowners hold their forest land for many non-economic reasons (for recreation, to hold the land in the family, for wildlife, etc), but many also list income or financial investment as other reasons for owning forested properties. Landowners are increasingly interested in the returns on investment that forestry investments will yield. And they want to know if it is worthwhile to invest their money in their forestland.
Timber price reporting is essential for forest landowners to fully participate in competitive timber markets, such as those in Mississippi (see article "Timber Price Reporting is Essential").

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Everywhere you look, you can see something that wasn’t originally part of Mississippi’s landscape.
From fire ants that came ashore in the early 20th century to a Eurasian sedge thought to have been transported by visitors to the grave of the Gypsy Queen in a Lauderdale County cemetery, Mississippi has a wide variety of invasive species. Kudzu, Chinese privet, cogon grass, Asian carp, pine beetles and wild hogs are other examples of plants and animals that have invaded Mississippi’s landscape.
