A multicriteria optimization model for sustainable forest management under climate change uncertainty: An application in Portugal

This novel approach is tested on a real forest, located in central Portugal, which is comprised of a large number of stands (aggregated into 21 strata), climate change is modeled by 32 scenarios, and a planning horizon of 15 years is considered. The obtained results show the capacity of the designed framework to provide a pool of diverse solutions with different trade-offs among the four criteria, giving to the manager the possibility of choosing a harvesting policy that meets her/his requirements.
