Justin S. Baker

Justin S. Baker studies the economics and management of forests, focusing on how forest markets, land management, and policy incentives affect timber supply, carbon storage, and ecosystem services in the United States, especially the Southeast. His work often combines economic modeling with ecological data (such as forest inventories and growth simulations) to project future forest carbon, timber markets, and climate mitigation potential. He also examines related sustainability topics such as water resources, phosphorus supply chains, and stakeholder engagement in natural resource decisions.

Publication output has grown from a handful of papers in 2017 to a sustained higher rate (roughly 8-12 per year) since 2021, indicating a generally increasing to steady level of research activity over the past decade.
