Temporal Connectivity of Mature Forest Patches In Spatially-Explicit Harvest Scheduling Models
We present a forest harvest scheduling model that can ensure the temporal con1 nectivity of mature forest habitat over time in a landscape managed for timber production. 2 Past models addressed the spatial aspects of habitat connectivity by requiring that a certain 3 amount of mature forest habitat is retained throughout a planning horizon in contiguous 4 patches of minimum size and age. These ...
متن کاملTime Efficiency of Selected Types of Adjacency Constraints in Solving Unit Restriction Models
Abstract: Spatial restrictions of harvesting have been extensively studied due to a number of environmental, social and legal regulations. Many spatial restrictions are defined by adjacency constraints, for which a number of algorithms have been developed. Research into the unit restriction model (URM) using a branch and bound algorithm focused on decreasing the number of adjacency constraints ...
متن کاملDecision Support Systems (DSS) Optimal—A Case Study from the Czech Republic
Forest managers have traditionally planned harvests using their expert knowledge. This applies mainly to the spatial distribution of harvest units. The amount of timber to be harvested is regulated by market demand. In addition to forest managers’ expert knowledge, there is a set of rules, which can be automatized. Computerized harvest planning will lead not only to saving time of forest manage...

We describe a cutting plane algorithm for an integer programming problem that arises in forest harvest scheduling. Spatial harvest scheduling models optimize the binary decisions of cutting or not cuttin...
متن کاملReasoning about Connectivity Constraints
Many problems in computational sustainability involve constraints on connectivity. When designing a new wildlife corridor, we need it to be geographically connected. When planning the harvest of a forest, we need new areas to harvest to be connected to areas that have already been harvested so we can access them easily. And when town planning, we need to connect new homes to the existing utilit...
