Forest production regulation is complex due to the large number of variables in the process. Economic variables consistently influence the results of regulation models. Therefore this study aims to analyze the influence of interest rate and wood price in some forest regulation models. Linear programming model was used in a studying case using data from 10 forest stands and the software Regulation of Forest Production, which was also used to simulate management and planning scenarios. All stands were regulated independently of the method used. It was observed that as the wood price raises, the annual cutting area becomes bigger and the average logging age decreases. The average annual production presented no change regardless of interest rate, wood price or the method used.Downloads
