Abstract

In this paper, we present a fractal-fractional model to examine the effects of illegal logging, tax policies and conservation efforts on forest biomass, as well as the complex interplay between biomass depletion and industrial growth. We demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of the model's solutions via fixed-point theory and apply Ulam-Hyers stability to evaluate the stability of the proposed model. It was found that increasing forest biomass densities can be achieved by mitigating illegal logging, implementing government taxes and reducing industrialization. Finally, some results from numerical simulations were presented.
