Impacts of regeneration cost, initial stocking level, site, quality premiums, and variable logging costs on thinning and rotation are derived with a forward-recursion dynamic programming algorithm. The relative efficiency and information provided in intermediate solutions is comparedto previously used backward recursions. A resolution is offered of an earlier controversy regarding the form of dynamic programming algorithm and validity of results in studies of thinning and rotation. Forest Sci. 24:513-522.
