| 1 | 1 | # Forest Management |
| 2 | 2 | |
| 3 | 3 | The purpose of this implementation is to use Constraint Programming to find valid solutions for problems of forest management. |
| 4 | + | |
| 4 | 5 | Here, Management Units (MUs) are associated with possible prescriptions which define which years the MUs are to be harvested. |
| 6 | + | |
| 5 | 7 | But in any given year only 50ha of contiguous forest area can be harvested at once. |
| 6 | 8 | |
| 7 | 9 | |
| 8 | 10 | Therefore the implementation needs input defining: |
| 9 | 11 | |
| 10 | 12 | 1-The existing MUs in the forest |
| 13 | + | |
| 11 | 14 | 2-The area of each MU |
| 15 | + | |
| 12 | 16 | 3-The MUs adjacent to each MU |
| 17 | + | |
| 13 | 18 | 4-The border lenght of each adjacency between MUs |
| 19 | + | |
| 14 | 20 | 5-The IDs of the Prescriptions of each MU |
| 21 | + | |
| 15 | 22 | 6-Relative to each Prescription, the years where the Prescription defines that the MU should be harvested. |
| 23 | + | |
| 16 | 24 | 7-Relative to each Prescription, the rewards each Prescription gives for being applied. |
