We also attempt to produce a distribution of clearcut sizes similar to recent history. Simulation scheduling considerations Federal Schedule thinning volumes when they can occur in reserves. State riparian rules are modeled. Non-industrial private Use harvest probability approach, which is based on stand age over time, to schedule either partial cut or clearcut treatments. State riparian rules are modeled.
Forest industry Use a binary search technique to achieve an even-flow of harvest volume over time.
Block sizes are determined based on an estimate of recent clearcut size distributions in the mega-sheds. State riparian rules are modeled. Riparian management prescriptions are timed with clearcuts in the uplands in the same parcel. These prescriptions are an attempt to model the State Forest Practices Act riparian rules. We want to use this spatial simulation model to help people think through forest policies before adopting them.
