An Evaluation of the Use of Simulated Annealing to Optimize Thinning Rates for Single Even-Aged Stands

We evaluated the potential of simulated annealing as a reliable method for optimizing thinning rates for single even-aged stands. Four types of yield models were used as benchmark models to examine the algorithm’s versatility. Thinning rate, which was constrained to 0–50% every 5 years at stand ages...
