"The even-aged hardwood forest, with a poorly balanced distribution of age-classes, can cause perplexing problems during the first rotation. What is the best cutting strategy to follow? By using linear programming, we developed some cutting strategies that maximize board-foot production and produce a balanced age distribution by the end of the first rotation. We developed the strategies for four hypothetical northern hardwood forests with different unbalanced age distributions. Although these strategies may be used for forest lands with conditions similar to those assumed in this study, we urge that the linear programming techniques described in this paper be used to develop strategies tailored to particular forests and to particular management objectives.

Excerpt from Managing Northern Hardwoods in the Lake States The northern hardwood type confronts foresters in the Lake States with two problems: the management of old growth, predominantly sawtimber stands, and the management of second-growth stands, composed largely of trees below sawtimber size.
