The analysis integrates market and nonmarket (landowner amenity) private capital incomes, including government afforestation grants. We apply cost-benefit analysis techniques for estimating the investment present value in the periods analyzed, taking residual values of cork oak woodland into account. The results show that the profitability rate of cork oak afforestation strongly depends on government subsidies. The value of private amenities, at least in Aljibe, seems to be positively affected by the forest area's share of the total estate surface. Thus, an increase in the afforested area would enhance the private amenity annual income with respect to maintaining the original property land's treeless uses. A higher level of private amenities attached to the forest area may imply a reduction in government grants for encouraging cork oak afforestation.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campos, Pablo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oviedo, José L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caparros, Alejandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huntsinger, Lynn</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Inocencio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contingent Valuation of Woodland-Owner Private Amenities in Spain, Portugal, and California.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rangeland Ecology &amp; Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">agroforestry systems</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">environmental economics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">environmental services</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean woodlands</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">private ownership</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stated Preferences</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">62</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">240 - 252</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Most of the Mediterranean woodlands in Spain, Portugal, and California are managed as agrosilvopastoral enterprises, producing some combination of livestock, wood, cork products, and crops, as well as wildlife habitat and diverse environmental services. Private amenity benefits to landowners have been suggested as an explanation for high land prices and the persistence of such rangeland enterprises despite apparently marginal cash returns. In this study, private amenity values are estimated using a contingent valuation technique in surveys of private woodland owners as part of five case studies, using a design developed to separate landowner amenity income and capital values. Nonindustrial private landowners were asked about the maximum amount of money that they were willing to give up (to pay) before selling their property to invest in more commercially profitable assets, and the proportion of the market price of their woodland that they think is explained by privately consumed amenities. Amenity values were found to be relevant because, in all cases, landowners were willing to pay &gt; €120 · ha−1 · yr−1, at 2002 prices, and attributed &gt; 30% of land market price to amenities. These values represent an amenity profitability rate &gt; 2% in all case studies. The data analysis shows some similarities, but mostly divergences, in the different land-simulated and amenity-simulated markets.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue></record></records></xml>
