Landscape analysis: Projecting the effects of management and natural disturbances on forest and watershed resources of the Blue Mountains, Oregon, USA

Incorporating between-expert uncertainty into state-and-transition simulation models for forest restoration

“…By modelling multiple simulations with different transition agents representing alternative management actions, STSMs are ideal for predicting future vegetation structure resulting from alternative management strategies (e.g. Wales et al, 2007;Wondzell et al, 2007). Due to the lack of data regarding ecosystem dynamics, we relied on expert opinion to parameterize models.…”
