Natural Resource Management and the Use of Multiple Criteria Decision-Making Techniques: A Review.

Important applications of the MCDM techniques to planning and management problems in fisheries, forestry, water, and land resources are reviewed, and some 150 applications are brought together to provide a unified source of reference.
