| Abstract: |
A landscape approach to forest management must consider the implications of alternative scenarios across stands and through time. The Landscape Management System, a computer program, facilitates implementation of this approach by integrating forest inventories, spatial information, growth models, visualization, summarization, and analysis. A case study with three scenarios no harvest, clear-cut, and thinning exposes the complex tradeoffs inherent in forest management and highlights the need for comparative analysis tools. |
