| Abstract: | Implementing forest plans involves decisions regarding the geographic arrangement and timing of management activities, and the design of efficient transportation networks to provide access for these activities. These planning problems have been modeled successfully as mixed integer linear programs. However, these models are difficult to solve with commercial software due to their relatively large number of binary variables. The authors present a heuristic approach that has solved these problems well. |
