Abstract

The effect of the alternative resource and time delay on conservation of forestry biomass is studied by considering a nonlinear mathematical model. In this paper, interaction between forestry biomass, industrialization pressure, toxicant pressure and technological effort is proposed and analysed. We find out the critical value of delay and observe that there is Hopf bifurcation. Using the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem, we determine the stability and direction of the bifurcating periodic solutions. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the analytical results.

Highlights

  • Forest is an integral part of our biosphere

  • A typical example is the Doon Valley in the northern part of India where the forestry resources are being depleted by limestone quarries, wood and paper based industries, growth of human and livestock populations, expansion of forest land for agriculture and settlement etc., threatening the ecological stability of the entire region [1]

  • We propose a model for the interaction of forestry biomass with industrialization pressure, toxicant pressure and applied technological effort

Summary

Introduction

Forest is an integral part of our biosphere. It used for fuel, furniture etc. and provides strong foundation for the development of any country. A typical example is the Doon Valley in the northern part of India where the forestry resources are being depleted by limestone quarries, wood and paper based industries, growth of human and livestock populations, expansion of forest land for agriculture and settlement etc., threatening the ecological stability of the entire region [1]. It is required a suitable harvesting plan to keep ecological balance.
