Notes from 2/24/2012 meeting

User should input the bare minimum information necessary to match his plot with a GNN plot

  • Dom, co-dom and understory species
  • percentages of each
  • basal area average
  • slope, aspect, elevation (imputed from DEM)

A given GNN plot may grow differently depending on aspect and other site characteristics. This introduces a combinitoral effect for preprocessing

FVS runs = plots * elevation-classes *  aspect-classes * slope-classes * offsets * Rxs * ??soils, etc.??

TODO: determine how to reduce this number of plots TODO: determine how to get GNN data into FVS

One idea: User digitizes stand > looks up potential GNN plots > "Does this plot represent your stand?"

Scheduler will not necessarily be employed; user may provide own offsets for smaller properties.

Rxs will appear more configurable than they actually are; Lots of dials get distilled down to 12 Rxs
