Optimal Forest Management of Even-Aged Longleaf Pine Stands with Nontimber Benefits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We present an optimal control model to simultaneously determine the planting density, thinning schedules, harvest age, and revenues of even-aged longleaf pine ( Pinus palustris Mill) stand, iconic species in Southeastern United States. assume that forest stand is managed for timber production carbon sequestration under different site indexes—a measurement potential productivity. Our simulation results show density tends increase when medium high indexes. Furthermore, age be extended with payments sequestration.

متن کاملUneven - aged Management for Longleaf Pine : Freedom to Choose
Longleaf pine once was present on 90 million acres of the southern landscape, ranging from coastal Virginia to east Texas and from central Florida to the mountains of Alabama. On nearly two-thirds of that area, longleaf pine grew in nearly pure (single-species) stands maintained by frequent, low-intensity surface fires of both natural and human origin. The remaining one-third of that area was s...

Log grade, number of knots, and log volume of the first two logs, as well as form class of the butt log, were compared across three broad sawtimber categories among even-aged plantations, even-aged natural stands, and uneven-aged natural stayMs of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) in Ashley County, AR. Trees from unevenaged stands had butt logs of better log grade than even-aged plantations, parti...

متن کاملUneven-Aged Silviculture of Longleaf Pine
The use of uneven-aged silviculture has increased markedly in the past 20 years. This is especially true in the southern United States, where the use of clearcutting and planting is often viewed as a practice whose emphasis on fiber production results in unacceptable consequences for other values, such as those that benefit from maintenance of continuous forest cover over time. Public lands in ...
