Stochastic Dynamic Programming with Markov Chains for Optimal Sustainable Control of the Forest Sector with Continuous Cover Forestry
We present a stochastic dynamic programming approach with Markov chains for optimal control of the forest sector. The forest is managed via continuous cover forestry and the complete system is sustainable. Forest industry production, logistic solutions and harvest levels are optimized based on the sequentially revealed states of the markets. Adaptive full system optimization is necessary for co...
متن کاملModelling the Light Environment of Virtual Crop Canopies
Virtual plants describe functionally and geometrically plants as sets of interconnected organs. As many plant processes are driven by light, virtual plants require the estimation of the light absorbed by each organ. This has motivated the development of dedicated light models taking profit from the 3D geometry provided by virtual-plant models. We first introduce the principles governing the phy...
متن کاملContinuous Cover Forestry: Possible Implications for Surface Water Acidification in the Uk Uplands
The effects of widespread conifer afforestation on the acidity of lakes and streams in the acid sensitive uplands of the UK has been researched extensively and has contributed to the development and implementation of national forest management guidelines (e.g. Forest and Water Guidelines; Forestry Commission, 1993). However, a recent policy document (Woodlands for Wales; National Assembly for W...
متن کاملTrends in forestry modelling
Different types of models have been developed and applied to address various problems and issues in forestry. This paper reviews modelling trends in four areas, namely, forest management planning and decision-making, forest dynamics and growth projection, forest landscape and spatial models and participatory forest management models. The first type includes decision models generally structured ...
متن کاملComparison of carbon balances between continuous-cover and clear-cut forestry in Sweden
Continuous-cover forestry (CCF) has been recognized for the production of multiple ecosystem services, and is seen as an alternative to clear-cut forestry (CF). Despite the increasing interest, it is still not well described how CCF would affect the carbon balance and the resulting climate benefit from the forest in relation to CF. This study compares carbon balances of CF and CCF, applied as t...
