Abstract
ABSTRACT: A spatial optimization model is developed and used to limit cumulative effects resulting from storm events by strategically arranging and scheduling forest treatments to meet peak storm‐flow constraints. A mixed integer forest management scheduling formulation is used to select the location and timing of forest treatments. The approach includes simulated spatial routing of storm‐flows imbedded as hydrologic process constraints (in a nested schedule) within longer‐term forest management planning periods in the mathematical programming model. Although difficult to solve, the model shows promise for further research.
