Evaluation of two risk mitigation strategies for dealing with fire-related uncertainty in timber supply modelling

We embedded a linear programming timber harvest scheduling model into an aspatial stochastic simulation model of a flammable forest to evaluate two fire risk mitigation strategies. The harvest sche...
