Connectivity requirements are a common component of forest planning models, with
important examples arising in wildlife habitat protection. In harvest scheduling models, one …

We consider a spatial problem arising in forest harvesting. For regulatory reasons, blocks
harvested should not exceed a certain total area, typically 49 hectares. Traditionally, this …

Forest ecosystem management often requires spatially explicit planning because the spatial
arrangement of harvests has become a critical economic and environmental concern …

This article analyzes three heuristics for solving forest management scheduling models
encompassing both timber production and landscape structure objectives. Emphasis is on …

We present an integer programming model for a non-temporal forest harvest problem with
constraints on the clearcut size and on the total area of old growth patches with a minimum …

We describe a cutting plane algorithm for an integer programming problem that arises in
forest harvest scheduling. Spatial harvest scheduling models optimize the binary decisions …

This research aims at presenting landscape management planning methods to help
stakeholders select forest ecosystem management plans that may address concerns with …

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 …

While the objectives of forest management vary widely and include the protection of
resources in protected forests and nature reserves, the primary objective has often been the …

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