Brief history of systems analysis in forest resources

An introduction to the special volume on Operations Research in Forestry from the 14th Symposium for Systems Analysis in Forest Resources, held at the Marbella Resort, Maitencillo, Chile, March 8–11, 2011. This volume of the Annals of Operations Research contains some of the papers presented at the Symposium that were submitted for publication and passed the rigorous peer review process. In addition, manuscripts were solicited from the operations research and forest resources communities to enrich the contributions for this special volume.
