Abstract
The second question we asked in the opening chapter was: How do different approaches to forest management affect relatively large and complex ecosystems? This calls for a landscape analysis of the constituent stands. The goal is to expand information on the options that may increase the compatibility between wood production and other societal values derived from forest-lands (Haynes and Monserud 2002). The nature of the problem focuses our attention on multidisciplinary solutions across a broad area (large scale). Planning based on single-resource issues can prove costly, or, in some cases, infeasible (Barrett et al. 2000). Forest planning models typically predict forest inventory, harvest levels, and economic outputs over time. Some landscape forest planning models also predict the spatial configuration of stand vegetation and other resources over time. Such models can then make spatially dependent predictions such as insect contagion effects, habitat availability for wildlife species, potential fire risk, aesthetics, or reduction in timber yields because of management constraints on adjacent land (Barrett 1997).
