Abstract We examine the trend in timber production models from the earliest preference for volume maximization through modern economic value maximization models, and conclude with a glimpse at technological trends and their implications for future production modeling. Our contribution lies in the suggestion that each model may have been rational in its own historic biological and economic context. Biological and economic managers have focused their debate on the optimal production period. We examine the production period, and the debate, and predict the latter will vanish as new timber production technologies become widespread.
