Abstract Purpose of Review The aim is to help identify how spatial facets of forest
management can be analyzed and better understood in strategic forest management …

Spatially explicit harvest scheduling models to enforce maximum harvest opening size
restrictions often lead to combinatorial problems that are hard to solve. This article shows …

This article investigates whether Johnson and Scheurman's (For. Sci. Monogr. 18, Society of
American Foresters, Bethesda, MD 1977) Model II formulation, which can dramatically …

Green-up requirements are of great interest for forests near cities since these forests are
commonly used for recreational activities by the local population as well as for commercial …

Spatially-explicit harvest scheduling models optimize the spatiotemporal layout of forest
management actions to best meet management objectives such as profit maximization, even …

This study aims at solving a harvesting scheduling optimization problem with constraints on
the clearcut area with additional constraints on clearcut proximity. The objective function is …

The success of forest management towards achieving desired outcomes depends on
various factors and can be improved through forest planning based on optimization …

We propose a new optimization model to solve spatially constrained harvest scheduling
problems with maximum opening size constraints, which utilizes flow network constraints in …

Integrating forest fragmentation into forest harvest scheduling problems adds substantial
complexity to the models and solution techniques. Forest fragmentation leads to shrinking of …

Existing exact optimization techniques for harvest-scheduling problems with area restrictions
are unable to solve explicit spatial issues such as the preservation of old growth forest along …
