TIMBER SALE DESIGN FOR MOOSE MANAGEMENT IN NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA
Abstract
A technique was developed to compare moose (Alces alces) and whitetail deer (Odocoileus virginianus) productivity in response to different timber harvest regimes. The idea is to project moose and deer yields per project area based on integrated landscape models, timber types, stand age class, and animal use from clearcut edge and cover.
Based on projected moose and whitetail deer yields an economic evaluation was devised to compare the various harvesting regimes based on animals harvested while retaining a sustained yield. The economic analysis uses the recreation visitor day (RVD) process adopted by USFS.
