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 classes of forest management planning problems, or problem types. Each problem type shares a number of dimensions. At present 10 different problem types are defined. They represent our minimal commitment; more problem types can be defined if needed.
