Incorporating Vegetative Diversity Measures in Forest- Level Planning: A Case Study on the Utah State University School Forest

Three indices of forest stand structural and compositional diversity were incorporated into a linear programming, timber-harvest scheduling model to examine the tradeoffs between managing stands for timber production and biodiversity objectives. While harvest-level objectives were fairly compatible...

Three indices of forest stand structural and compositional diversity were incorporated into a linear programming, timber-harvest scheduling model to examine the tradeoffs between managing stands for timber production and biodiversity objectives. While harvest-level objectives were fairly compatible with the maintenance of biodiversity, present net worth maximization resulted in substantial reductions in all three measures of biodiversity. 1994-05-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/6485 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=7574&context=etd Copyright for this work is held by the author.
