Forest Management Simulator Showcased to Small Forest Owners

Forest Management Simulator Showcased to Small Forest Owners

  • Update

A digital tool was developed and tested within Living Lab East to support small forest owners in understanding the long-term effects of forest management decisions. The tool was designed to provide a visual and interactive way of exploring how different management approaches can shape the development of a forest stand over time.

Using ground-based forest data as a starting point, the application allows users to virtually design and modify forest stands and test alternative theoretical management scenarios. Based on the selected assumptions, the tool automatically updates key stand characteristics and estimates the corresponding amount of timber that could be harvested under each scenario.

By translating technical forest data into an intuitive visual format, the tool offers forest owners a clearer understanding of potential long-term trajectories and trade-offs in forest management. This supports more informed discussions and decision-making processes regarding future management strategies within small forest holdings.
