Although timber was the forest product that has pivoted the forest management for centuries, other non-timber products and other services (without market price) provided by forest systems are becoming increasingly important in recent years. With the help of other colleagues from ECSEN and other Universities and Research Centers, we have deepened in the integration of these goods and services in forest management issues.
