Sim4Tree is a user-oriented, modular and multipurpose toolbox. This forest DSS supports strategic and tactical forestry planning by providing simulations of forest development, ecosystem services potential and economic performance through time, from a regional to a stand scale, under various management and climate regimes. Sim4Tree allows comparing the performance of different scenarios with regard to diverse criteria as to optimize management choices.
