What is LMS?
Evolving set of software tools designed to aid in landscape level management of forest resources.
Cooperative between the Silviculture Laboratory, College of Forest Resources, University of Washington, Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Forest Service, State & Private Forestry.

Further Description Integrates forest inventory information, geographic
information, growth models, decision support systems, and other applications.
Coordinates execution and information flow between many different computer programs (+60).
LMS projects changes in individual stands and landscapes up to 50,000 acres.
LMS can be used for management, planning, policy making and education.

LMS designed w/ following features:
Modular Incorporates many forms of inventory data, geographic information,
computerized growth models, and decision support systems. Flexible
LMS works with a representative tree list. Easy to Use
Microsoft Windows application. Incorporates MS Access & Excel Projects Growth
LMS projects growth at the stand level using existing growth models. Changes in stand can be projected over time under different management regimes.
Presents Visualization LMS in concert with SVS and Envision provides visualizations of the
projected stands.

McAllister Helicopter Project
Helicopter logging on approximately 1600 acres. Classified as inoperable ground because of
inaccessibility for conventional logging methods. Harvest high risk volume, improve forest /ecosystem
health, reduce hazardous fuels, provide additional revenues to Tribe.

Steps to using LMS
Create stand boundaries & other GIS layers. Collect sample inventory plots (variable & fixed)
within selected stands. Collect silvicultural prescription information for
selected stand(s). Create photo-points from strategic locations. Create digital terrain model using DEM’s.
