The Development Of Forest Management Planning Software

Forest management planning software is based on Visual C + + 6.0 platform introduced by Microsoft, using its MFC class library, and this software is developed combining with Lingo, which is a linear programming software. The Forest management planning software can be used to stimulate the growth of forest on the basis of the existing stand, and in accordance with the operation of users with different types of programmes, as well as the historic growth of forest, it can also be used to develope management plans together with linear programming technology and its planned objectives, and those are the main functions of this software. It can simulate the temporal and spatial evolution of forest through the research of different types of trees in forest growth process, including the simulation of different types of forest management practices (such as Thinning, reforestation, etc.) operating results, but also can business objectives of the management plan, supporting forest scientific decision-making, science and business planning for the provision of technical support. In addition, this software will Contribute to forest land evaluation and there is a certain reference value in investment of afforestation if this software be used for forest management and forest forecast. The software's advantages are:â‘ Its results are accurate.â‘¡It can describe forest growth process and the planning process.â‘¢This software is based on the forest planning, each is a stand with specific characteristics of the forest types, the same type of stand, the same age, the same growth pattern, and can be treated as a whole using the same methods for processing. In this paper, it takes Sichuan Minjing River's Zagunao River upriver forest area for example and tested the main functions of this software, and described detailedly the simulation and planning process,use of the software for simulation and planning processes and data preparation, and discussed the results of those processes, in order to test the correctness of the results of forest management planning with this software, the results were compared with the result of Remsoft software, and the results showed that, this software and the Remsoft can get the same calculated results, and in addition, this software has the advantages of a easier-to-operate, and it can be put into use in the forestry sectors and forest units.
