In a recent research article, Robinson et al. (2016) described a method of estimating uncertainty of harvesting outcomes by analyzing the historical yield to the associated prediction for a large number of harvest operations. We agree with this analysis, and consider it a useful tool to integrate estimates of uncertainty into the optimization process. The authors attempt to manage the risk using two different methods, based on deterministic integer linear programming. The first method focused on maximizing the 10th quantile of the distribution of predicted volume subject to area constraint, while the second method focused on minimizing the variation of total quantity of volume harvested subject to a harvest constraint. The authors suggest that minimizing the total variation of the harvest could be a useful tool to manage risk. Managing risks requires trade-offs, however, typically less risk involves higher costs. The authors only superficially stated the costs and did not consider if these costs are reasonable for the management of risk. In this comment, we specifically develop the models used in their article, and demonstrate a method of managing the downside risk by utilizing the Conditional Value at Risk.

Determining the appropriate timing of the next forest inventory : incorporating forest owner risk preferences and the uncertainty of forest data quality
Eyvindson, Kyle; Petty, Aaron D.; Kangas, Annika S. (Springer-Verlag France, 2017)Key message The timing to conduct new forest inventories should be based on the requirements of the decision maker. Importance should be placed on the objectives of the decision maker and his/her risk preferences related ... -
Evaluating a hierarchical approach to landscape level harvest scheduling
Eyvindson, Kyle; Rasinmäki, Jussi; Kangas, Annika (NRC Research Press, 2018)Forest planning at the landscape level has the potential to become a large intractable problem. In Finland, Metsähallitus (the state enterprise that manages federally owned land) creates strategic plans to determine the ... -
Stochastic multicriteria evaluation of district heating systems considering the uncertainties
Wang, Haichao; Lahdelma, Risto; Salminen, Pekka (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2018)It is of great importance to choose a suitable district heating (DH) system for a specific DH area from the economics, environment and energy (3E) points of view. This is a multicriteria decision making problem, in which ... -
Data-Based Forest Management with Uncertainties and Multiple Objectives
Hartikainen, Markus; Eyvindson, Kyle; Miettinen, Kaisa; Kangas, Annika (Springer, 2016)In this paper, we present an approach of employing multiobjective optimization to support decision making in forest management planning. The planning is based on data representing so-called stands, each consisting of ... -
Using uncertain preferential information from stakeholders to assess the acceptability of alternative forest management plans
Eyvindson, Kyle; Öhman, Karin; Nordström, Eva‐Maria (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)In forest management planning, participatory planning processes are often encouraged as a means to acquire relevant information and to enhance the stakeholders' acceptability of alternative plans. This requires the aggregation ...
