Introducing the Forest Plannera project of Ecotrust
Free web-based decision support for landowners in Oregon and Washington
Growth Model Users Group. Vancouver, WA (Nov 11, 2013)
Target Audience & Goals
Audience: Private forest owners in Oregon and Washington with multiple stands and different timing for management entries, likely covering ownership from tens to thousands of acres.
Goal: Provide user-friendly decision support technology to support forest management planning.•Mapping a property, management units, and forest types•Designing customized management scenarios•Visualizing outcomes of scenarios for meaningful comparisons•Needs to be easy to use
5 ecoregions/FVS variants+
2,000 – 6,000 plots in each region from PNW FIA Integrated Database
+Spectrum of 20-30 ecoregion-
appropriate management prescriptions
+Several “offsets” to smooth
harvest over time
= 1,661,800 simulations
A ‘Big Data’ Approach
Mapping
Assigning Forest Types
Nearest Neighbor Matching
User inputs (derived stand geography & stand tables) used to match nearest neighbor in PNW FIA Integrated Database.
Nearest neighbor considers stand age, slope, aspect, elevation, basal area, presence/absence of species and species-diameter cohorts. Currently chooses one IDB plot as match that will stand-in for the user’s stand.
Prescriptions to Scenarios
Visualizing Outcomes
Now in Beta Testing
Launching at Clackamas Tree School (March 22, 2014)
Diving into Climate-FVS
Variable Climate Predictions
RCP 4.5RCP 6.0RCP 8.5
OSU GNN dataset
We can crosswalk (almost) every single GNN pixel’s plot to
hundreds of simulations
we have run
Revisiting ‘Big Data’
Leveraging ‘Big Data’ Capacity
Ecotrust now providing:
•Customized high-throughput modeling (streamlined, custom build from open-fvs)
•Watershed- and regional-scale optimization for multiple objectives (simulated annealing)
•Climate vulnerability assessments and prioritization for monitoring and management
•User-friendly interface for decision support tools
