The 17th Symposium on Systems Analysis in Forest Resources was held in Suquamish, Washington, United States on August 27–30, 2017. The goal of this international meeting was to bring together operations researchers, remote sensing scientists, and the government to facilitate the exchange and implementation of systems science in forestry and conservation. The essay that follows is a summary of the outcome of the Symposium, as well as an introduction to the eight research articles that were selected for publication in this Special Issue. Each of the papers was presented at the Symposium and has undergone rigorous peer review. The papers represent a broad disciplinary scope within system analysis ranging from forest economics and management science to remote sensing. The problems addressed within these disciplines also vary, from wildfire mitigation, supply-chain optimization, bioenergy logistics, and participatory forest planning to fuel assessment. The technical tools the authors applied to these problems are equally diverse: game theory, dynamic programming, stochastic optimization, multiobjective decision theory, structure-from-motion, and airborne laser scanning.

第十七届森林资源系统分析专题讨论会：综述与综述

第17届森林资源系统分析研讨会于2017年8月27日至30日在美国华盛顿州苏夸米什举行。本次国际会议的目的是召集运营研究人员，遥感科学家和政府共同参与，以促进交流以及在林业和保护方面实施系统科学。接下来的文章是对研讨会成果的总结，并介绍了在本期特刊中被选中发表的八篇研究论文。每篇论文都在研讨会上进行了介绍，并经过了严格的同行评审。这些论文代表了系统分析的广泛学科范围，范围从森林经济学和管理科学到遥感。这些学科所解决的问题也各不相同，例如减轻野火，供应链优化，生物能源物流和参与性森林规划以进行燃料评估。作者应用于这些问题的技术工具同样多样：博弈论，动态规划，随机优化，多目标决策理论，动结构和机载激光扫描。
