Franklin, J. F., and R. T. T. Forman. 1987. Creating landscape patterns by forest cutting: Ecological consequences and principles. Landscape Ecology 1:5–18. This paper was among the first to use a simulation model to investigate the landscape pattern effects of timber harvesting.
Gustafson, E. J. 1996. Expanding the scale of forest management: Allocating timber harvests in time and space. Forest Ecology and Management 87:27–39. In this paper Harvest was used to simulate several clustered cutting strategies on a real landscape encompassing the entire Hoosier National Forest in Indiana. Results showed that the area harvested could be increased while also increasing the amount of forest interior when a clustered strategy was used.

Li, H., J. F. Franklin, F. J. Swanson, and T. A. Spies. 1993. Developing alternative forest cutting patterns: A simulation approach. Landscape Ecology 8:63–75. The authors use a harvest simulation model to investigate novel strategies to spatially allocate timber harvests. For example, they evaluate a “progressive cutting” strategy in which harvest activity proceeds systematically across a landscape, as an alternative to traditional dispersed methods.

The authors used a harvest simulation model to show that landscape patterns produced by dispersed disturbances are difficult to erase, persisting in some form for a long time.
