Maximum principle for a size-structured model of forest and carbon sequestration management
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper analyzes nonlinear optimal control of integral–differential equations that describe the optimal management of a forest taking into account intra-species competition and carbon sequestration. The objective function includes the revenues from timber production, operational expenses, and the net benefits from carbon sequestration. A dual system is derived and a necessary extremum condition is established. c © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The goal of this research is to indirectly estimate carbon storage. Carbon sequestrations by the trees in the Pine, ash and false trees-planted areas of Chitgar Forest Park in Tehran, Iran, were estimated by using of GeoEye-1 images. 102 sample areas of 25×20m have been measured using Systematic Random Sampling (SRS) method for the study. The Biomass and carbon sequestration for each sample wer...
