The author describes a stochastic model of forest stand rotation which can be used to determine the optimal planned rotation interval for flammable forest stands. The model can also be used to estimate the value of fire management activities in terms of the potential enhanced value to timber production. The use of this model is illustrated by applying it to a simplified case of jack pine (Pinus banksiana, Lamb.) management.© National Research Council of Canada, NRC Research Press.
