A simulation/optimization system for modelling timber and old forest under stochastic fire disturbance
DownloadSpring 2011
Stochastic wildfire disturbance contributes to uncertainty in forest management planning. In this study, a system composed of an optimizing forest estate model nested within a Monte Carlo simulation model of stand replacing fires is used to investigate the impact stochastic fire may have on the...

Development of a Genetic Algorithm Model for a Multiple-Objective Forest Harvesting and Zonation Problem
DownloadFall 2014
Most of the forested lands in North America are managed for multiple objectives and forest management plans are designed in a manner to obtain or maintain sustainable forest management certification. One strategy for achieving some of these goals is forest zonation, which allows for different...

West-central, Alberta is subject to a growing number of resource extraction activities such as forestry that change ecosystem components and their structure. This area is important for the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) population, which is considered to be a threatened species in Alberta...
