Growth and Yield models are a key component of forest DSS + | Projection of stand development increases knowledge base. The use of growth and yield models to provide information about the stand development is key for improving decission making. + |

Interpretative case studies can help reduce the gap between research and practice + | Interpretative case studies can help reduce the gap between research and practice + |
It is necessary to know which data will be use as variables in the models before designing the DSS + | It is necessary to know which data will be use as variables in the models before designing the DSS + |
It should be possible to specify the rotation time of a species not only by age but also by target + | It should be possible to specify the rotation time of a species not only by age but also by target DBH. + |
It would have been better to involve some end users at earlier stages of the system development + | It would have been better to involve some end users at earlier stages of the system development; + |

M | |
Metodology and results are transparent and easy-to-share to non-expert stakeholders + | The use of structured output like maps, tables and charts, makes the methodology and the results more transparent and easy-to-share to non-expert stakeholders. + |
Model building was rapid, it was assembling the data that took by far the most time + | Model building was rapid, it was assembling the data that took by far the most time + |
Modular approach helpful in assisting industry uptake + | A modular approach was helpful in assisting industry uptake by allowing the use of parts of the system. + |
Multiple DSS are often needed to meet complex needs + | Multiple DSS are often needed to meet complex needs: separate models were needed to handle the strategic (Spectrum) and tactical (RELM) aspects of planning; a simulation approach (VDDT) was also done to provide an alternative view. + |
N | |
Need for new models for the later use of a tool + | Need for new models for the later use of a tool - either as consulting instrument or in extended science-practice cooperation + |
Need of a moderator function + | Need of a moderator function - "the user as such" does per se not exist, but by doing a participatory development of a tool, trust in its results is created by "consumers" of its analytical results, but the researcher as such should mostly do the analysis him- or herself + |
Need of flexibilization of analytical tools - no overdesigned tool that provides too much features for the use + | Need flexible analytical tools - no "overdesigned" tool that provides too much features for the use + |
Neighbourhood interrelations should be included in the generator + | Neighbourhood interrelations should be included in the generator. + |

Operational aspects of the system should be enhanced + | Operational aspects of the system should be enhanced: client-server application, internal control on consistency, etc + |

Pareto Frontier Techniques are useful for multi-criteria forest management planning + | Pareto Frontier Techniques are useful for multi-criteria forest management planning. The method provides information about non-dominated points in the feasible set so that decision-makers may take advantage of trade-off information among different criteria. This method does not need a priori + |
Plan the system architecture based on a broad view of future possibilities + | Plan the system architecture based on a broad view of future possibilities rather than the ad hoc needs of particular funded projects + |

Providing procedures and structure for data flow from selection of field sample, performing field + | Providing procedures and structure for data flow from selection of field sample, performing field survey and entering data into the DSS proved to be a successful approach. + |
R | |
Regular ongoing engagement helped maintain interest of users + | Regular ongoing engagement with via “Users group” helped maintain interest of users and contributing scientists. + |
Requirement of specialized skills can discourage some potential users + | Although Biomasfor use is easy and flexible, working under an external sw environment like GRASS GIS required some specialized skills which could discourage some potential users. + |
