A New Mixed-Integer Programming Model for Harvest Scheduling Subject to Maximum Area Restrictions

Forest ecosystem management often requires spatially explicit planning because the spatial arrangement of harvests has become a critical economic and environmental concern. Recent research on exact methods has addressed both the design and the solution of forest management problems with constraints...
