Landscape Boundaries: Consequences for Biotic Diversity and Ecological Flows
The emergence of panorama ecology in the course of the Eighties represents an impor tant maturation of ecological conception. as soon as enamored with the conceptual great thing about well-balanced, homogeneous ecosystems, ecologists now assert that a lot of the essence of ecological structures lies of their lumpiness.

76, then the owner will not mill that additional small-diameter tree. As long as the incremental production costs of milling a small-diameter tree are less than the incremental benefit of selling the ISO beam it produces, the sawmill owner’s incremental profits will increase and the owner will increase production by milling additional small- diameter trees. If the incremental costs are greater than the incremental benefits, the sawmill owner will decrease production of ISO beams. ” Marginal analysis allows for statements concerning a direction of change; for example, increasing or decreasing the amount of output you provide.
Huyler (2000) confirms this observation: The key to a successful maple syrup operation is controlling production to maintain an acceptable profit margin. It is important that sugarbush operators keep accurate records so that areas of high cost can be identified and steps taken to reduce them. (Huyler 2000: 5) As production systems range from simple to complex, how can we incorporate production systems into the economic models described in Chapter 1? And how can this be done so the manager will have the economic information useful to search for ways to be resource efficient?
However, a brief description of the single-pass production process is given by Becker et al. 3: The Micromill is a 300-horsepower dimension sawmill capable of processing 4- to 20-ft logs with a maximum large-end diameter (outside bark) of 13 in and a minimum small-end diameter (outside bark) of 4 in. Designed to cut about 850,000 to 3,500,000 ft3 per year, depending on tree species and desired product, the mill produces four-sided cants, rough-cut lumber, and chips in a single-pass, automatic-feed system.
