Barry's treebrk2 model

An example of a demonstration.

Please note that only the species and soils options in CAPITALS are available in this demonstration.

	Soil type:
Height:	Spacing:	dbh:

windspeed to overturn trees
windspeed to snap trees

- artificial data

The risk of wind speeds high enough to cause damage are calculated in another part of the Forestry Commission's model
A dummy interface can be seen by clicking here

Ultimately it should be possible to map the risk of damage to different parts of a forest.

Click here for a possible interface.

The model can also be used to assess silvicultural options.

The effect of misclassification of soil types and tree species can result in large variations in the calculated risk for a given point. Click here for an example (which uses artificial data).
