  • Tradeoffs associated with managing forested landscapes for multiple-uses

    Creator:
    Lichtenstein, Mark E.
    Abstract:
    This study focuses on the tradeoffs that exist for managing forested landscapes for biodiversity and timber production. Tradeoff evaluation is important to natural resource managers so they can understand the benefits and costs of alternative management prescriptions. The study examines three watersheds in the Oregon Coast Range and 166 terrestrial...

  • Choosing efficient land allocations and forest management regimes for biodiversity

    Creator:
    Shunk, Neal J.
    Abstract:
    Increasing rates of species imperilment and the loss of biological diversity in naturally functioning ecosystems can be directly linked to accelerated urban development and the conversion of natural habitats to satisfy the needs of man. In combating this loss of biodiversity, scientists and policy makers alike recognize the relevance of...

  • Optimizing spatial and temporal aspects of nature reserve design under economic and ecological objectives

    Creator:
    Nalle, Darek J.
    Abstract:
    Alteration of natural areas in attempts to support increasing human populations has been a crucial yet less publicized contributor to the fall of many of the world's greatest civilizations, since healthy ecosystems can help maintain stable societies and economies. Given this unhappy fact and the ancient relationship between people and...

  • Spatially explicit inter-temporal forest management decision under the risk of fire

    Creator:
    Konoshima, Masashi
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a framework for analyzing efficient spatial allocation of forest management efforts - fuel treatment and harvest - under the risk of fire. The framework integrates a fire behavior model and a spatially-explicit stochastic dynamic optimization model. I investigate the effects of spatial interaction across plots during forest...
