Abstract
The continuously growing need for forestry products and the limited availability of forests have raised the question of how best the forest economy should be managed. In what follows, it will be assumed that a group of cellulose factories will be built in a forest region of a country, where the forest will be cultivated, solely with the needs of the factories in mind. Since large forestry machines will be used, a selective felling of tress will not be possible; a machine removes all the trees from an area being harvested. After that, new trees are planted immediately. This obviously necessitates the forest being divided into smaller subforests, which produce raw material for the factories in a sufficiently continuous manner. the optimal dimensioning of such a system of forests in the steady state is discussed. The basic difference from present practice is the assumption that the time needed for the transportation of wood is negligible; the cost aspect is not considered in this paper.
