| dc.description.abstract | traditional approaches to timber management planning do not
address the realities of catastrophic wildfire. the model
forman is one of the operational wood supply models used in
ontario for forest regulation. the fortran program
formanb.for, presented here, incorporates the subprogram
burn.for, that models continuous wildfire according to
historical patterns. incorporating the risk of forest fire
on the nakina forest lowered the sustainable harvest level
from 520,000 m3/year to 473,500 m3/year (9%).
when choosing the sustainable harvest level in light of
this, the forest manager must evaluate options within a
larger timber supply context. the ability to consider risk
of fire explicitly as part a wood supply analysis should
increase the forest manager's confidence in long-term
timber supply projections and short-term harvest levels. | |
