The name of the proposed Consortium  \nSouthern Forest Resource Assessment Consortium (SOFAC)  \nb. The specific mission, objectives, and goals of the proposed CIL/Consortium  \nMission: The Southern Forest Resource Assessment Consortium (SOFAC) will develop forest sector  \nmarket models for application to forest resource assessments in the South, U.S., and the World.  \nGoals: SOFAC will integrate currently available forest resource data from the USDA Forest Service,  \nForest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program and economic theory to model timber supply and demand in the South by local area.  \nSOFAC economic models will allow use of exogenous or endogenous inputs about supply, demand, land use change, and landowner behavior in the analysis of timber and forest land markets and management.  \nSOFAC modelers and members will be able to use the SOFAC suite of models and research to simultaneously project timber inventory, supply, and prices for a variety of regions and a variety of timber products across the South, the U.S., and the World.  \nSOFAC will foster discussion among modelers and members about the appropriate inputs and assumptions in forest projection models and employ these in building timber supply models and timber supply scenarios that represent likely conditions.  \nSOFAC will continue cooperative university-industry-public agency cooperation in southern and national forest sector economic modeling.  \nSOFAC will enhance graduate instruction in forest economics and modeling in the South.  \nObjectives: SOFAC will build timber supply models based on prior efforts by the modelers at NC State University and cooperators at the USDA Forest Service, Research Triangle Institute, and University of Georgia.  \nSOFAC will enhance existing multiple products timber supply modeling that has been developed by NC State modelers in the Multiple Product Subregional Timber Supply (MP SRTS) model.  \nSOFAC_Charter_ 9May2007.doc  \nSOFAC will integrate and update endogenous land use change and reforestation decision components in the ongoing MP SRTS framework.  \nSOFAC will develop new statistical methods and programs to use the annual FIA SAFIS data, which will form the basis for timber inventory status and projections in the United States.  \nSOFAC will maintain data on comparative investment returns to plantation and natural forests in the Americas, and integrate these results into estimates of impacts on trade and forest plantations throughout the Americas.  \nSOFAC will meet annually with industrial and public members and with scientific cooperators to discuss model enhancements and appropriate assumptions for use in modeling each year.  \nSOFAC will discuss current issues and applications for the economic models each year, and the members will select appropriate applications each year.  \nSOFAC will report in the research program each year, and publish periodic public reports stemming from its analyses and modeling.  \nSOFAC will provide funds for graduate research assistantships and train graduate students in forest economics, who can then work for private firms or public agencies in timber supply and forest economics analyses.  \nc. SOFAC’s relationship to existing entities at NCSU  \nThis consortium will be part of the established Center for Industry Research Programs in Forestry programs at the College of Natural Resources (CNR), and will complement other research cooperatives within the Center. Current Center research programs include three Cooperatives: the Forest Nutrition, which focuses on intensive management and silviculture through manipulation of site resources for trees and forest stands; Tree Improvement, which focuses on selection and breeding of superior trees and families of loblolly pine; and the Central American and Mexican Coniferous Resour","cbCaib8xSpRUVJ5Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib8xSpRUVJ5Q","pdf",135401,6,"English","# Mission, objectives, and goals\n## Market models and integrated inputs\n## Modeling outputs and member activities\n# Relationship to existing entities at NCSU\n## Center for Industry Research Programs in Forestry\n## Cooperation with the Southern Center for Sustainable Forests","[{\"question\":\"What is SOFAC’s mission according to the charter?\",\"answer\":\"SOFAC will develop forest sector market models for application to forest resource assessments in the South, the U.S., and the world.\"},{\"question\":\"Which main modeling inputs and topics does the charter emphasize?\",\"answer\":\"The charter emphasizes integrating forest resource data from USDA Forest Service FIA with economic theory, including exogenous or endogenous inputs on supply, demand, land use change, and landowner behavior.\"},{\"question\":\"How does SOFAC relate to existing entities at NCSU?\",\"answer\":\"The charter states the consortium will be part of NCSU’s Center for Industry Research Programs in Forestry programs and will complement other research cooperatives within the Center, including cooperation with the Southern Center for Sustainable Forests.\"}]","Proposed Charter - Southern Forest Resource Assessment Consortium (SOFAC) | PDF",1789587369]
