Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nana Tian investigates landowner perspectives and decision-making related to forest management and ecosystem services. Her research has explored factors influencing nonindustrial private forest landowners' interest in supplying ecosystem services, particularly in regions like the Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee, and their willingness to participate in forest certification programs in China. Tian has also examined landowner awareness and barriers to forest certification in the United States.

Her work also extends to the economic aspects of the timber industry, including synchronized movement between US lumber futures and southern pine sawtimber prices, with consideration for impacts like COVID-19. Tian's research employs meta-analysis to understand the price responsiveness of timber supply. Her scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 10 and 246 citations across 34 publications. She has collaborated extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, including Matthew H. Pelkki, Alyssa Mineau, Elena C. Rubino, and Ana Gutierrez-Castillo.
