Abstract

Web Based Forest Management Application
Track: Forestry
Authors: Anita Nemesova

A web based GIS application has been implemented for forest inventory timber supply forecasting from private forests in the Republic of Ireland which can accommodate all environmental spatial constraints. The web interface produces real-time forest inventory estimates and timber supply forecasts from user collected and online submitted data. Forest management and inventory data are submitted online using a standard format for individual forest stands. Within this format, forest management prescriptions can be defined for each stand and a variety of scenarios can be run interactively.
