Ecology Research
Resource
ManagementModels
What we are doing:
• Revising visualizations & metrics developed for researchers for resource management.
• Surveying experts to characterize crowns from a research database.
• Producing Crown Catalog w/ ratings using revised rules.
• Conducting ecology research to analyze crown gaps.
What we will do next:
• Evaluate new rules and use of crown catalog.
• Scale up in space – integrate field data with remotely sensed LIDAR data.
Future CS Research Directions:
• More end-user programmed visualization, incl. animation.
• Better pattern recognition.
• Interpolation and extrapolation for missing data.
• Better, dynamic models that run forward and backward, and can integrate new data.
Help natural resource managers respond to policy & environmental change
by providing ecology research results
have want
Which Trees to Leave?100 Crowns Among 1000 Trees
in the 1000-Year Chronosequence
Which Tree is or has:Best Wildlife Tree?Many Crown Gaps?
Legacy Tree?Economic Value?
Our managers want:• Refined rules for Leave Tree selection.
• Help communicating decisions & outcomes to harvesters, the public, ecologists.
• Research results at higher spatial and temporal scales and that are applicable to incomplete data.
