Stand Visualization System, Version 3.3

McGaughey, Robert J. Stand Visualization System, Version 3.3. USDA Forest Service. Pacific Northwest Research Station. April 2004. 141 pgs.

The Stand Visualization System (SVS) generates images depicting stand conditions represented by a list of individual stand components, e.g., trees, shrubs, and down material, using detailed geometric models (McGaughey 1997). The images produced by SVS, while somewhat abstract, provide a readily understood representation of stand conditions and help communicate silvicultural treatments and forest management alternatives to a variety of audiences.
