The timber supply implications of applying an interpretation of the natural disturbance model (NDM) of forest management were examined, using a computer model simulating forest growth and harvest. Under the natural disturbance model, much less timber was available for harvest than under maximum sustained timber yield management. Several questions relating to implementation of the natural disturbance model of management are raised with the intent of stimulating some discussion.
