Mixed woodland woodland valuation in France

What makes this stand different

INRAE research shows that species identity and combination matter for response to extreme drought; species count alone is insufficient. Coppice with standards describes stand structure, which is different from species diversity. INRAE · 2024-09-24 · CNPF Île-de-France Centre-Val de Loire · 2023-09

Questions that change the assessment

1. What volume and quality belong to each species, and where?

2. Are species suited to the soil and complementary in their needs?

3. How are harvest income and renewal expenses distributed over time?

Species, ages and stand structure change how woodland is assessed. A visit helps compare hypotheses with the trees actually present.

Documents to request before an offer

A map of stand units; an inventory by species, quality and diameter; a schedule of harvests and works. Request dated documents tied to the correct parcels. Aerial imagery shows canopy, not internal timber defects or legal access rights.

From an average price to this property

An average describes completed sales, not the price of this woodland. Start with the actual scope, access, terrain, future works and comparable transactions. Explore national and departmental benchmarks. Standing timber prices in €/m³ concern a different market. When woodland sales include trees, do not add their value again.
