DECISION SUPPORT
SYSTEM:
Overview of the FNC Silvicultural
Decision Support System - pdf (243kb)
 The FNC’s Decision Support
System (DSS) provides our members with an
expert system that models the effects of site
conditions, site preparation, and first year
silvicultural treatments on plantation
survival and growth. At the core of the
expert system is the FASTLOB2 growth and
yield system (Amateis et al. 2001), a whole
stand growth and yield model that includes
options to evaluate thinning and/or
established stand fertilization.. FASTLOB2 is
the further evolution and development of
several widely used models developed by the
Virginia Tech Growth and Yield Cooperative.
The DSS system was originally developed by
Cristian Montes and Lee Allen and was first
presented as Cristian’s MS thesis “A Silvicultural
Decision Support System for Loblolly Pine
Plantations".NUTREM:
