Models for Strategic Forest Management

Abstract

Strategic forest-management models are models that assist strategic decision makers in examining forest strategy. There is history of long-term linear programming and related models being seen as strategic. However, strategy is broader than just the forest-management process. As a result, a large number of ecological and economic models may also inform the forest-management process. As we change our perspective on what strategic issues are important, this may require us to think about both the formulation and use of the strategic models
