Spatialized forest production by wood assortment

Abstract

This study presents an alternative to spatial data simulation of forest production by wood assortment, to support in administrative and decision-makers in a forestry company. It was used the open source geo-referenced information processing system -SPRING, developed by the National Institute for Space Research. To simulate the forest production it was used the prognosis system for growth and yield of Pinus plantations, SISPINUS, developed by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation. With the integration of SPRING and SISPINUS it was possible to spatialize the data of growth prognosis and yield output by wood assortment of a forest company until the year 2030, besides the possibility of spatial planning and programming the stands rotation. The proposed system is practical and provides easy and fast visualization of spatial information on production by wood assortment.In addition, provides information to control the production stands rotation and farms of a forest company. The system made possible the operational agility of information management and can be applied in forestry companies both as administrative support and in forest planning and management.
