Many of the intrinsic facets of forest planning are surrounded by uncertainty. Decision-
makers strive to improve their understanding of the sources of uncertainty and their impact …

The application of optimization methods to forest management has given rise to a successful
line of investigation in recent decades. However, there have been few publications …

The paper presents and compares approaches for controlling forest companies' risk
associated with advance planning under variable future timber prices and demand …

Forest planners have traditionally used expected growth and yield coefficients to predict
future merchantable timber volumes. However, because climate change affects forest …

Forest ecosystems deliver multiple services crucial for human wellbeing and welfare, with
complex relationships among forest ecosystem services (FESs). Implementing sustainable …

Forests are complex ecosystems that require integrated management to balance economic,
social, and environmental dimensions. Conflicting objectives among stakeholders make …

The timing of forest stands harvesting is an important operational decision in forestry. Major
goals of private nonindustrial forest owners are to achieve a steady flow of profits while …

This paper concerns with a stochastic version of the discrete-time Mitra–Wan forestry model
defined as follows. Consider a system composed by a large number of N trees of the same …

Key message Through a stochastic programming framework, risk preferences can be
included in forest planning. The value of utilizing stochastic programming is always positive; …

We analyse how to deal with the uncertainty before solving a stochastic optimization
problem and we apply it to a forestry management problem. In particular, we start from …
