Abstract
SUMMARY The forest was described as consisting of 26 classes of trees in which the total numbers of trees, the average sawlog volumes per tree, and the average growths of sawlog volume per annum were known. The annual cut was prescribed in advance, and limits were placed on the volume of 14-inch trees that were to be harvested and the average sawlog volume of all trees harvested. Analysis by linear programming to determine the optimal harvesting program for least reduction of current growth of sawlog volume produced a program which was suitable for use in the forest as a set of prescriptions for tree-marking. Supplementary analysis by parametric programming showed the effects of varying some of the factors of the situation.
