Estimating maximum allowable timber yields by linear programming / William B. Leak.
"In forestry, linear programming so far has been used primarily for analyzing economic problems of allocation. The technique has seldom, if ever, been applied to the solution of problems in mensuration, silviculture, or protection, possible because few foresters are familiar with its use and li...

| Summary: | "In forestry, linear programming so far has been used primarily for analyzing economic problems of allocation. The technique has seldom, if ever, been applied to the solution of problems in mensuration, silviculture, or protection, possible because few foresters are familiar with its use and limitations. However, several common forestry problems appear to be amenable to linear programming. An approach to the solution of one of these problems, the estimation of maximum allowable timber yields, will be described in this paper."--Page 2. |
