A LINEAR PROGRAMMING APPROACH FOR SUSTAINABLE HARVESTING SCHEDULE FOR TECTONA GRANDIS LINN F. IN OMO FOREST RESERVE, NIGERIA.
ABSTRACT Linear programming (LP)is a useful analytical tool for determining future sequence of harvests from the forest. It has been an inherent part of forest management planning and decision-making.This study was carried out to determine the optimal harvesting schedules for Tectona grandis plantations in Omo Forest Reserve, Southwestern Nigeria using Linear Programming. The plantations are being managed for timber production and are to be exploited within twenty five (25) years based on a 5...
