Within thesefields, many different subjects are treated, all of them relevant tocurrent discussions of how to use forests and to some extent alsoother natural resources. Some subjects are treated at the micro- orowner level, others at the macro- or country, or even higher level, implying forest policy aspects. Many different analytical methods arerepresented, for example, deterministic and stochastic analysis, single- and multi-objective decision making, discounting, simulation, operations research methods, time-series analysis, Data EnvelopmentAnalysis.
