| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We implemented forest planning through optimization and simulation in Taga town, Shiga prefecture, Japan. As for the planning by optimization, we maximized timber production under several kinds of environmental constraints, and calculated trade-off relationships, for example, between timber production and water storage. As for the planning through simulation, we employed LANDIS-II, which was developed in the USA and is utilized globally, and obtained GIS information of forest-type distributions under different types of harvesting prescriptions.
