CALL FOR PAPERS: OPERATIONAL RESEARCH AND FORESTRY 

	SPECIAL ISSUE OF INFOR

		on

    Operational Research in Forestry

Guest Editors:
Dr. Eldon Gunn, Technical University of Nova Scotia
Dr. David Martell, University of Toronto

Forestry holds a place of particular importance in the Canadian and
international economies and this importance will continue in the
coming years. Forest management poses unique problems for operational
researchers both because of the long time scale of the planning
process and because of the diverse economic, environmental and social
consequences of the management decisions.  The purpose of this Special
Issue is to provide a forum for the presentation of fundamental
problems in the planning, management and operation of forest systems,
and to demonstrate the contribution of operational research methods in
the analysis and resolution of these problems. The list of topics that
will be considered for inclusion in this special issue includes: 

-	strategic issues in the management of forest resources
-	forest harvest scheduling
-	forest protection
-	investment in forest resources and processing capacity
-	environmental considerations in forest management 
-	other issues in forestry
