Forest management strategies for dealing with fire-related uncertainty when managing two forest seral stages

摘要: Ecological values are an important aspect of sustainable forest management, but little attention has been paid to maintaining these when using traditional linear programming (LP) management planning models in uncertain environments. We embedded LP model that specifies and how much harvest a simulation “managed” flammable landscape. The was used evaluate two strategies for dealing with fire-related uncertainty managing mature old areas. seral stage areas were constrained the minimum 10% total area evaluated under four representative fire regimes. also developed risk analysis tool can be by managers wish incorporate their decision-making. found use would reduce lower bound further s...
