The goal of harvesting for maximum sustainable yield is to
keep a population at an intermediate size so they will grow the fastest
keep a population at the largest size possible
keep a population at the smallest size possible in an area
let a population grow at its own rate
The goal of ecosystem based management is to
allow no timber harvesting and allowing it to go to nature
clear cut the entire forest
allow some timber harvesting while preserving the functioning of the ecosystem
allow that most timber harvesting possible while preserving the functioning of the ecosystem
The adaptive management has five steps after you assess the problem. It includes
