Duration: 2012-2016   
Research Programme: Forests and silviculture in the future 2012-2016

Objectives

Purpose of the project is to establish a firm knowledge base for the development of management guidelines for uneven-aged and multi-storied stands, and to assist in their implementation. The principal tool in this project is the Motti simulator. We aim at developing its models and other features to facilitate its application to analyses on various aspects of continuous cover forestry. State-of-the-art reviews are produced on the main management alternatives. Basic frameworks for alternative management regimes are drawn up in cooperation with practitioners.
