Landscape Level Forest Modeling Data 2024 Fall

Landscape Level Forest Modeling Data (this is not a self-paced course)

October 28 – November 8, 2024

The second course in this micro-certificate focuses on the data requirements for landscape-level forest modeling data and encourages students to explore the data and critique potential limitations and assumptions. Student will:

• Understand the plethora of measures available for evaluating present values of a forest stand and discuss how spatial data connects to landscape-level forest modeling data
• Evaluate different landscape classification systems, including those commonly used in forest management plans.
• Understand how forests are projected forward through time and the data, limitations and assumptions employed and connected into forest models, including transitions, volumes, and growth and yields.
