Management scheduling models for integrating objectives
1999
Hoganson, H.M.
The University of Minnesota has a long history in developing forest management planning models. Specialized approaches can now decompose large problems into manageable-size parts and utilize an understanding of the problem within the mathematical solution process. One system served as a basis for analyses for the Minnesota GEIS on timber harvesting. More recently, it has been applied to look at statewide issues regarding reforestation investments, reserve areas, short-rotation intensive culture, and extended-rotation forestry. Most recent model developments can address complex spatial aspects of management. The newest system, developed initially to address adjacency constraints, utilizes linkages with GIS information to value spatial measures like interior space and forest edge production directly within the management scheduling process
