FORSYS aims at producing decision support guidelines for forest management planning problems, where a forest management planning problem involves …
► the definition of the timing and location of forest management options in a unit of forestland over a planning horizon,
► in order to approximate or optimize management objectives,
► that are single or multiple and relate to goods and services that are traded or non-traded, and
► subject to resource constraints.
Thus the output of a decision support tool as understood in FORSYS ideally includes …
► an efficient set of actions,
► tradeoffs between management goals, and
► impacts of changing uncertain parameters.
