An evaluation of an inventory projection system : TRIM model predictions vs. forest inventory field measurements in North Carolina

Creator:

Mills, John R.

Abstract:

As part of the effort to evaluate TRIM (Timber Resource Inventory Model) for the next RPA National Assessment, a study was conducted using natural pine stands in North Carolina. TRIM has been used for regional timber supply studies in both the Pacific Northwest and the South (Southern Timber Supply Study)....

Model III : a sequential approach to joint optimization of the stand treatment and forest level harvest scheduling problem

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...

A model of Pacific Rim log and lumber markets : structure and projections

Creator:

Katz, Andres

Abstract:

To facilitate policy making and improve understanding of issues facing the New Zealand forest sector, a spatial equilibrium model was developed for log and lumber trade in the Pacific Rim. Regions included in the model were New Zealand, Chile, Australia, Japan, Eastern Canada, British Columbia: Coast and Interior, and the...
