Based on the actual timber harvest problem, this paper establishes the joint harvest model of timber and non-timber with nonlinear harvest items. In the numerical simulation, by comparing the existing proportional harvest model, it is concluded that the optimal harvest strategy of nonlinear harvest items in this paper can obtain larger ecological benefits and be more conducive to the sustainable development of a population. Firstly, using the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations, the dynamic behavior of the model is studied, and the existence and stability of the equilibrium point of the model are proven. Secondly, the optimal control solution is obtained by using the optimal control theory. Finally, the optimal harvesting strategy of timber and non-timber products is given based on the numerical simulation results, and a comparison of the effects of different parameters on the optimal harvest strategy, which provides a certain theoretical basis for the sustainable development of the ecological economy of forestry, is carried out.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16070806","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]],"date-time":"2024-06-27T13:26:43Z","timestamp":1719494803000},"page":"806","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Optimal Harvesting Strategies for Timber and Non-Timber Forest Products with Nonlinear Harvesting Terms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-9998-8157","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaning","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Statistics, Changchun University of Technology, Changchun 130012, China"}]},{"given":"Lina","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Statistics, Changchun University of Technology, Changchun 130012, China"}]},{"given":"Shan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Statistics, Changchun University of Technology, Changchun 130012, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Liu, X.X.
