Planning Problems

Forest land management planning provides a rich environment for the use of optimization techniques that incorporate multiple criteria and operate within a soft optimization decision environment. Using de novo programming, several approaches for examining planning problems are described where the objective is not simply to optimize a given system, but to design an optimal system. Both single and multiple objective linear programming models are used to illustrate this new approach and several illustrative examples are discussed.

AbstractEcologists have built numerous models to project how climate change will impact rangeland vegetation, but these projections are difficult to validate, making their utility for land management planning unclear. In the absence of direct validation, researchers can ask whether projections from different models are consistent. High consistency across models based on different assumptions and emission scenarios would increase confidence in using projections for planning. Here, we analyzed 42 models of climate change impacts on sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.), cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.), pinyon-juniper (Pinus L. spp. and Juniperus L. spp.), and forage production on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in the United States Intermountain West. These models consistently projected the potential for pinyon-juniper declines and forage production increases. In contrast, cheatgrass models mainly projected no climate change impacts, while sagebrush models projected no change in most areas and declines in southern extremes. In most instances, vegetation projections from high and low emissions scenarios differed only slightly.The projected vegetation impacts have important management implications for agencies such as the BLM. Pinyon-juniper declines would reduce the need to control pinyon-juniper encroachment, and increases in forage production could benefit livestock and wildlife populations in some regions. Sagebrush conservation and restoration projects may be challenged in areas projected to experience sagebrush declines. However, projected vegetation impacts may also interact with increasing future wildfire risk in ways single-response models do not anticipate. In particular, forage production increases could increase management challenges related to fire.
