The frequency with which a crop can be harvested on a cleared parcel of forest land (CPFL) before this land must be fallowed depends in part on the decision to use or not to use fertilizers to improve soil fertility. Therefore, we first construct a mathematical model of fertilizer use by a...

The number of times a crop can be harvested on a cleared parcel of forest land (CPFL) before this land must be fallowed is dependent on the decision to use or not to use fertilizers to enhance soil fertility. As such, we first construct a theoretical model of fertilizer use by a swidden...

Various plants and resources such as orchards are vulnerable to the detrimental effects of successful invasions by alien animal or plant species. To outline an appropriate policy response, we first use renewal theory to construct a stochastic model of optimal orchard management in the presence...

The notion of a reservation value is a key feature of most contemporary dynamic and stochastic models of land development. It is clear that the magnitude of the reservation value has a fundamental bearing on the decision to develop or preserve land. This notwithstanding, many studies that...

We analyze the temporal control choice problem faced by a manager who uses cell grazing to manage a parcel of rangeland. Specifically, we first delineate the relevant dynamic and stochastic features of a stylized parcel of rangeland. Next, we use a renewal theoretic framework to derive the...

Owing to a variety of factors, the total forage consumed by grazing animals on a rangeland is a random variable. Although this fact has been recognized in the extant literature, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies that have analyzed the statistical properties of this random...
