Decision support tools for integrating fire and forest management planningDescription
The aim of this project is to develop scientifically sound methods that can be used by the public administration, non-industrial forest owners, industry and non-governmental organizations for enhanced integration of forest and fire management planning activities. Methods and tools that may confront the complexity of forest and fire management planning encompass (1) fire occurrence probability models, (2) fire damage models, (3) fire spread models, (4) fuel and stand growth and yield models, (5) stand-level management scheduling models, (6) forested landscape management models and (7) information and decision systems as technological support platforms. This project evolves a new approach to integrated forest and fire management planning by developing, testing and combining methods and tools (1) to (7)
