Long-Term Forest Planning

Introduction

Modeling long-term sustained yield on a landscape level raises several concerns. Usually, a model will compromise on-the-ground reliability for stand-level accuracy. This essentially breaks the tie between modeled inventory and the actual landscape. GPI^© along with support from other Alpine applications, allows for modeling at the unit level, keeping all the information available from inventory plots, while providing the landscape-level clarity. GPI^© allows for both the site specific and landscape level detail necessary to satisfy the needs of regulators, long-range planners and foresters alike.

GPI^© Features

CACTOS, CRYPTOS, SYSTUM I models are used in a Microsoft Foxpro database allowing the user to create, modify and reprocess batch runs without reentering data

Growth models can be calibrated to the specific growth conditions on-site

Long-term sustained yield solutions (LTSY) can be generated for multiple management options

Access to a wealth of data on the stand or unit level including:

	Wildlife Habitat Relationship over time
	Size class distribution over time
	Standing volume over time
	Mill distribution
	Financial appraisal of LTSY
