Findings indicate that the transition between rural and urban land use occurs where population density is between 20 and 70 Population effects reduce commercial inventories between 30 and 49% in the study area. effect may be the reduced investment in timber production in areas of moderate population density as total effect of population density on timberland area population density of 45 people psm and the probability of commercial forestry is >0.75 at ca. lands and adjusting forest area for population effects ./cache/work_i3ya3uetzzdedebpvrojgucbem.pdf ./txt/work_i3ya3uetzzdedebpvrojgucbem.txt
