Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the effect of time delay on conservation of forestry biomass by proposing a non-linear mathematical model. In the modeling process, it is assumed that the density of forestry biomass depletes due to the presence of human population and it is being conserved by applying some technological efforts. The analysis of model shows that the density of forestry biomass may be conserved if the technological effort is applied within the appropriate time. A longer delay in applying technological effort for its conservation destabilizes the system. The direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the mathematical results.
