Modelling is an important tool for understanding the complexity of
forest ecosystems and the variety of interactions of ecosystem
components, processes and values. This book describes the hybrid
approach to modelling forest ecosystems and their possible response
to natural and management-induced disturbance. The book describes
the FORECAST family of ecosystem management models at three
different spatial scales (tree, stand and landscape), and compares
them with alternative models at these three spatial scales. The
book will help forest managers to understand what to expect from
ecosystem-based forest models; serve as a tool for use in teaching
about sustainability, scenario analysis and value trade-offs in
natural resources management; and assist policy makers, managers
and researches working in assessment of sustainable forest
management and ecosystem management. Several real-life examples of
using the FORECAST family of models in forest management and other
applications are presented from countries including Canada, China,
Spain and the USA, to illustrate the concepts described in the
text. The book also demonstrates how these models can be extended
for scenario and value trade-off analysis through visualization and
educational or management games.
