Land management with ecological and economic objectives : developing a production possibility set of wildlife species persistence and timber harvest value using simulated annealing

Creator:

Calkin, David E.

Abstract:

An integrated model combining a wildlife population simulation model, and timber harvest and growth models was developed to explore the tradeoffs between the likelihood of persistence of a wildlife species and timber harvest values on a landscape in the Central Oregon Cascades. Simulated annealing, a heuristic optimization technique, was used...
