| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine the effect of imposing spatial wildlife constraints on long-range timber management schedules. Data were gathered on a public forest in northern Virginia under varying levels of a wildlife habitat constraint. Linear programming-based timber management scheduling models are solved with standard linear programming, mixed-integer programming with computer-determined stand allocations, and mixed-integer programming with predetermined stand allocations to determine the degree to which the failure to consider explicitly the spatial aspects of a forest management problem with wildlife concerns may result in an overestimation of timber production capacity. The results reveal that present net value and annual sawtimber harvest volume are overestimated when the standard linear programming approach is employed. |
