Abstract
Specialized model solution approaches can be designed for forest management scheduling problems by utilizing an understanding of the problem. A specialized decomposition approach has made it possible to address larger problems. It has proven successful in applications. Concepts of moving windows from geographic information systems can be combined with dynamic programming (DP) techniques to address adjacency considerations in large problems. This DP approach and the specialized decomposition approach can likely be combined to help identify ways of sustaining both timber production and forest-wide spatial conditions such as the amount of forest edge or interior space. The specialized decomposition approach has been expanded to address spatial interactions between timber markets. Similar expansions seem plausible to address broader spatial environmental concerns related to forest biodiversity.
