PRELIMINARY TIMBER MODELING

Statistics will be determined for frequency of adequate tail trees, piece size, cut volume, and turn weights. Software used will include Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS), Suppose, and perhaps LMS. Initial data will come from the original Forest Resource Inventory Summary (FRIS) data. This data will be used in Logger PC and Plans in the setting design.
