Forest DSS

Existing case studies

Gordon-2006-Decision support systems for forest biodiversity management_A review of tools and an analytical-deliberative framework for understanding their successful application 
Sean Gordon's dissertation. Chapters 7-10 contain 4 indepth case studies of DSS use for forest biodiversity issues in the USA. Tests cases against specific theories of social and technical success factors.
Gordon-2007-A guide to decision making and decision models for forest biodiversity 
Appendix A contains 15 brief case studies of DSS use for forest biodiversity issues in the USA. Selected to describe use by different ownership classes.
Pretzsch-2002-The single tree based stand simulator SILVA
Mainly a description of the system itself. Although it doesn't discuss actual use, it does devote sections to factors that should affect its usability (potential applications, suitability for forest planners).
Johnson, K.N.; Duncan, S.; Spies, T.A. 2007. Regional policy models for forest biodiversity analysis_lessons from coastal Oregon. Ecological Applications. 17(1) 81-90.
The use of EMDS in the assessment of spotted owl disperal habitat for the state of Washington, USA (personal experience and contacts of Sean Gordon)
