DAS-Stand-Sim 1.4

DAS-Stand-Sim by SmartLand is a stand-level simulation and decision-support application for forestry and land management. It models how forest stands grow and respond to silvicultural treatments and environmental conditions, helping users compare management options, quantify outcomes, and communicate trade-offs before implementing actions on the ground.

Key capabilities:

• Stand dynamics: Simulates growth, mortality, and regeneration across species and age classes to project stand structure and yield over time.
• Management scenarios: Plan and compare treatments such as planting, thinning, and harvests, including rotation alternatives and treatment timings.
• Climate and disturbance modifiers: Explore how changing climate assumptions or disturbance regimes may affect stand trajectories.
• Carbon and ecosystem services: Estimate stand-level carbon stocks and sequestration, with optional indicators for habitat and fuel conditions.
• Economics: Track costs and revenues to produce summary metrics that support budgeting and investment decisions.
• Spatial support: Work in spatial or non-spatial modes, with the option to use GIS-informed inputs and export results for mapping.
• Uncertainty analysis: Run scenario and sensitivity analyses to bracket outcomes and assess risk.
• Reporting and exports: Generate clear tables, charts, and summaries; export data for further analysis.

Who it’s for:

• Forest managers and planners
• Researchers and consultants
• Educators and students

Whether you are evaluating a thinning prescription, planning a harvest schedule, or testing climate resilience, DAS-Stand-Sim provides a practical, transparent way to explore scenarios and make defensible, data-informed decisions.
