In agriculture and forestry, robotics has made a substantial impact. Farmers are conscious of their need for automatic vehicle guidance to minimize damage to the growing zone of their soil. Automatic sensing, handling, and processing of produce are now commonplace, while there is substantial instrumentation and mechanization of livestock procedures. In forestry, legged harvesters have not yet s...

Encouraging agricultural and forestry carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas mitigation is a necessary tool to meet U.S. emissions targets at minimum cost, but implementation challenges have relegated the agriculture and forestry sector to a marginal role in national and international cap-and-trade and energy policies, including those currently being discussed by U.S. legislators. However, the...

“Ecosystem management” complicates forest management considerably. In this paper we extend the economic analysis of forestry to capture both the temporal and the spatial dimensions, allowing optimization of timber harvest decisions throughout an ecosystem. Dynamic programming simulations illustrate the implications for the simplest ecosystem, consisting of two forest management units. Results i...
