forest land.
Iptim:
• The data model for forest inventory data and baseline definition of
how forests are managed; the management regime
• The growth models on which the simulation is based;
• possibility to create user’s own growth models in situations
where there’s scarce research literature found
• Adopt specific models from research, calibrate with your own
data if necessary
