FORSYS – this is our FOCUS
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 and uncertain parameters.
Problem types
Guidelines will be created for a number of different forest management planning problems, or problem types. Each problem type shares a number of characteristics. At present there 10 different problem types are defined. They represent our minimal commitment; more problem types can be covered in due course of FORSYS.
