ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF FOREST HARVESTING WITH HARVESTER AND FORWARDER [PDF]
ABSTRACT Due to the high cost of acquisition and preservation of machines used in the operations of forest harvest, it is necessary to know the profitability of its purchase and up to what point its usage is profitable. Thus the aim of this work was to evaluate economically the activities of felling and timber extraction held by skidders harvester and ...

Forest Monitoring and Harvesting Policies [PDF]
This paper considers the problem of what information must be measured in a forest management model in order to generate optimal feedback harvesting policies. Together with this question, the paper also addresses the issue of how LP-based models can be embedded within the dynamic programming framework, so that feedback rather than open-loop decisions ...
