Considering Moore and Neumann neighbourhood adjacency we investigate the effect of strip cutting under a shelterwood management scheme with adjacency requirements among strips. We compare the effect of creating a strip window within a management unit with the same spatially constrained problem without a strip window. The management scheme comparison is considered as a spatially constrained harvest scheduling problem which is solved with CPLEX software using an exact solution method. Our experimental analysis shows that the inclusion of additional spatial consideration by strip window creation in the management scheme results in a reduction of the total harvest volume by almost 13 under Moore neighbourhood adjacency while it has a small effect under Neumann neighbourhood adjacency. Keywords integer programming Moore and Neumann neighbourhood adjacency Shelterwood management strip cutting Consideration of adjacency constraints has been a key issue in harvest scheduling over the last several decades because of environmental ecological and aesthetic requirements. These constraints are often expressed by Moore neighbourhood adjacency in ecological fields where all neighbours sharing adjacent lines and corners with the target cell are considered adjacent.
