Abstract:
This thesis examines a mathematical programming model called FORPLAN as a planning tool for strategic analysis of forest management alternatives. This model uses economic efficiency as the objective of forest management planning. The dynamic theory of multiple use forestry is analyzed and expressed as a linear programming analogue in FORPLAN. The main weakness of this theory is that it focuses on single stand analysis. Even so, forest wide constraints applied to certain FORPLAN formulations compensate for this weakness. A strata-based forest management problem is developed to show the econ

In recent years as more wild horses have gone into long-term holding facilities, the costs of the program have increased to levels that are not likely to be politically sustainable.
