The Sylvan Stand Structure Model applies stand dynamics principles to data that the you collect from a stand you would like to predict. The model requires more from you but in return provides flexibility. The base model is spatially explicit growth model that is driven by crown size and change. While the modelng effort in 1987, it is actively being develop.

This website has a couple of purposes:

1. to inform others about this modeling effort, the model featrues and potential uses,
2. to document the components of the model and how to create parameter and data files,
3. in the future to distribute the model, and
4. in the future to allow sharing of parameter and data.

Development News

Currently Sylvan is undergoing several big changes. Many of the changes are dependent of new additions to our development staff. The biggest change is a rework of the data structure. We will undate this website once changes are settled.
