Preparing spatial analyses

The most common spatial analyse in forest management planning concern the aggregation of final felled areas. An aggregation could be positive (e.g. when many stands share the fixed costs involved in harvesting) but usually regarded as a problem - large open areas are negative in nature preservation perspectives, in biological diversity matters (bad for many species), etc. "Opening size constrains" are hence often used in a optimization model. Prerequisites for such analyses can be calculated here.

Look in PWs notes, should there be any explaining graphics?
