Abstract:: The problem of determining an optimal sequence of decisions in even-aged stand management is analyzed and solved with an alternative to the traditional dynamic programming network. The new method is derived independently from two different approaches to the problem: Network optimization and generalized LaGrange multipliers. Both derivations are presented. It...

Creator:: Yoshimoto, Atsushi
Abstract:: An analytical algorithm to formulate a sparser set of adjacency constraints than the conventional algorithm is proposed. Utilizing matrix algebra applied to an adjacency matrix, constraints are systematically and efficiently derived by the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm is proved to provide a true set of adjacency constraints in the...

Creator:: Barber, Richard L.
Abstract:: Harvest scheduling and stand level optimization have generally been regarded as separable problems. Some studies have attempted to jointly optimize a wide range of stand treatments and a forest wide harvest schedule using combinations of mathematical programming techniques. The mathematical programming forest level techniques presume perfect information on production, costs...

Creator:: Lennette, Marie
Abstract:: The Elliott State Forest, located in the Coast Range of Oregon, is currently revising their Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Many of the constraints in the HCP are spatial, requiring identification of specific parcels in order to limit activity along habitat reserves, limit harvest opening size, and to coordinate activities within...
