A mathematical model for the optimization of forest planning decisions: evaluation of the trade-offs between timber production and carbon sequestration

A forest planning decision support system assists managers by providing a sequence of activities that each forest land area will receive through the whole planning horizon, as well as the schedule concerning all these activities are required to be performed. Each activity is a composition of silvicu...
