Bioregional Inventory Originated Simulatio … Bioregional Inventory Originated Simulation Under Management
Biosum provides simulation-based analytical tools that leverage data from FIA — the nation's forest census — to predict, and statistically summarize over multi-million acre forested landscapes, the consequences of forest management strategies. Management strategies can be multi-objective, vary among owner groups, evolve over time, and be contingent on targeted sets of specific site and vegetation attributes. As many as hundreds of alternative silvicultural sequences can be simulated, evaluated and compared and best alternatives selected for each forested acre via user defined heuristics.
Biosum is suitable for addressing a variety of policy relevant questions concerning forest landscape management such as:
cost and effectiveness of forest health restoration
potentially sustainable yields of timber and feedstock for wood biomass energy generation
most promising locations for building biomass energy facilities
cost effectiveness of alternative fuel treatments
implications of stand density and surface fuels management for forest carbon dynamics.
The MS Windows based biosum software and all component models in the analytic framework are free, downloadable, documented and supported.e, downloadable, documented and supported. +
