Research
Rasoul Yousefpour studies forest decision processes to find the most desirable ecological economic forest management and bioeconomic strategies. He includes economics of ecosystem goods and services as well as the risks and uncertainties associated with forecasting ecosystem production and market under global change and socio-economic dynamics. The ultimate goal of his studies is linking forest ecosystem processes and functions to management oriented and economy-based solutions for forest sector. Most of the research applies ecological economic modelling approaches which are data-driven and process-based to optimize the forest decision outcomes.
