Abstract
These proceedings of the NORTH AMERICAN CONFERENCE ON FOREST SECTOR MODELS represent not only individual contributions of some 40 researchers, but also significant progress of an unique international effort in forestry research: The Forest Sector Project of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). The project is a joint effort of researchers in over 15 nations to cooperatively develop models of their forest sectors that can be linked together to form an international model useful for projecting the development of resources, the progress of industry, and the flows of trade worldwide. Such linkage of models has never been attempted in forestry.
