Following the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations, ‘‘sustainable forest management aims to ensure that the
goods and services derived from the forest meet present-day needs
while at the same time securing their continued availability and
contribution to long-term development. In its broadest sense, forest
management encompasses the administrative, legal, technical,
economic, social and environmental aspects of the conservation
and use of forests’’. Publications on the subject that introduce the
concept of optimization are numerous and the reader can refer to
Martell et al. (1998), Weintraub and Murray (2006), and Bettinger
et al. (2007) for an overview of such problems and also to the book
of Weintraub et al. (2007) which contains a dozen chapters related
to optimization problems in forestry. About half of these chapters
take into account biodiversity protection at least to an extent.
Among the problems presented in the literature, many of them
have a spatial aspect. For example, Toth and McDill (2008) study
a forest management problem aiming to produce habitat composed
of mature large parcels taking into account the total perimeter
of these parcels. The spatial constraint taken into account by
Goycoolea et al. (2005) is to limit, for various environmental reasons
