Managing Forestland for Productivity and Environmental Health: Decision Support Tools for Producers

This projects aims to create a decision support platform that is designed to allow forest producers to visualize, plan, and market their products and services and manage for multiple objectives such as carbon, Habitat, tax credits, and timber. It will allow producers to input different pricing information and then generate financial information describing how the producers’ revenues could change over time under different pricing scenarios. Producers will be able to access the tool online and either upload specific stand-level inventory data from their land or enter species, age class, and harvest information specific to their property. An interactive interface will allow producers to adjust input data and change management scenarios to see how this affects the productivity of timber and ecosystem services and how it impacts their annual revenue.
