{{Lesson
|Has statement=By generating a large set of potential management alternatives (e.g. using a prescriptions generator) is it possible to enlarge the decision space. This generates more information and gives more flexibility when developping alternative management plans.
|Has evidence=Automatic generation of management alternatives enlarges information for the Decision Maker. It allows to get information on the effects of different management alternatives in the different goods and services. This information is usually limited for decision makers.
|Has consequences=In order to cope with objetives and constraints set by the decision maker, some non-optimal management alternatives (at stand level) may be selected (at forest/landscape level) in a decision process
|Has recommendation for action=Use an automated prescription writter within a DSS. This is a useful tool in that allows enlarging the decision space by generating a large set of potential management alternatives. It also allows computing the impact of these management alternatives on forest productivity.
