Sim4Tree is a modular and multipurpose toolbox, in which modelling outputs from very different models or simulators (e.g. yield tables, mechanistic ecosystem models) can be flexibly plugged in and connected to an intuitive user interface and management optimization routines. This forest DSS supports strategic and tactical forestry planning by providing simulations of forest development, ecosystem services potential and economic performance through time, from a regional to a stand scale, under various management and climate regimes. Sim4Tree allows comparing the performance of different scenarios with regard to diverse criteria as to optimize management choices. The actual version 2.5 is designed for use in Flanders, but the flexible database structure of Sim4Tree and the open source design allow for an easy adaptation for use in other geographical locations with a different decision environment.
