Forest growing model (SiWaWa 2.0)
A simple forest growth simulation model for practitioner (Android-App). SiWaWa needs only the number of the stems [N], the basal area per hectare [G] of a certain stand to generate separated the stem distribution curve according to the DBH-classes. Free available Android-App, which could be used in the following fields: 1. Strategy: Goal dimension of the trees, cutting time 2. Care concept: Coordination of harvesting time, optimization of productivity 3. Measurements: Urgency and priority 4. Analysis: Starting point and forest development without interventions. Definition of intervention measures and simulation. SiWaWa 2.0 supports the decision makers in two aspects: Silvicultural and forest planning. It supports the foresters in a better understanding of the state point and forest development. |
