Table 1. Inclusion of forest management operations in option A and option B.

Forest Management Operation	Option A (Timber Purpose)	Option B (Public Purpose)	Rationale
Site cleaning	○	△	Enhances survival and stand condition; partially relevant to public functions
Planting	◎	◎	Foundational activity essential for both timber production and public benefits
Weeding	◎	○	Improves survival and growth; contributes to long-term ecological stability
Vine removal	○	○	Supports stand health in both options
Pre-commercial thinning	◎	◎	Strengthens physiological vigor and improves ecosystem functions
Commercial thinning	◎	◎	Enhances stand structure and long-term public ecosystem services
Forest roads	◎	○	Multi-purpose infrastructure supporting timber extraction, forest access, disaster response, and public use
Surveying / Estimation	◎	○	Required for timber harvesting but also relevant for forest governance and management
Felling / Extraction	◎	○	Timber-mobilization process whose costs must be reflected in both evaluation options
