Modeling alternative forest management scenarios across landscapes in the Pacific Northwest
1. Modeling alternative forest management scenarios across landscapes in the Pacific Northwest Matthew Goslin Mike Mertens Ecotrust -- Portland, OR The Forestry 2100 project
6. Analytical Approach Map current vegetation Model development of individual plots Harvest Scheduler / Landscape Model Growth & Yield Model Most Similar Neighbor Imputation Projected harvest and standing volumes, age classes and forest structure across landscape by scenario Forest Inventory Sample Plots Compare scenarios
13. Projecting Future Conditions – Plot / Stand: Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) Harvest Scheduler / Landscape Model Growth & Yield Model Projected harvest and standing volumes, age classes and forest structure across landscape by scenario Tree growth Tree regeneration Forest Inventory Sample Plots Tree mortality Natural Processes Management Prescriptions Timing of Harvests Retention at Harvest Planting
14. Sample Stand Development Modeled by FVS: Basal Area, Tree Density and Mean Diameter Sample stand 11512: High density, high site index Douglas-fir dominated stand 5 years old at beginning of simulation

19. Modeled Sample Stand 11512: Private Industrial – “Business as Usual” Prescription Basal area by species Standing and harvested volume
20. Modeled Sample Stand 11512: Private Industrial – Alternative Prescription 1 (85% of area) Basal area by species Standing and harvested volume
21. Modeled Sample Stand 11512: Private Industrial – Alternative Prescription 2 (15% of area) Basal area by species Standing and harvested volume
