INSECT
DAMAGE DATABASE
This database is a collection of notes on thousands of insect
and damage specimens from forests or wood products taken mainly
in the United States, some from Canada, Mexico, Central America,
South America and other regions. ![[Image]: more](/global-websites/images/buttons/more.gif)

FIRE EMISSION PRODUCTION SIMULATOR (FEPS)
FEPS manages data concerning consumption, emissions and
heat release characteristics of prescribed burns and wildland
fires.It is a revision of the older Emission Production Model
(EPM) |

FINANCIAL
ANALYSIS
This page includes software that performs financial evaluation
of ecosystem management activities in the northern inland
West, financial evaluation of pruning ponderosa pine (upgrade),
and much more.

EMDS
The Ecosystem Management Decision Support (EMDS) system is
an application framework for knowledge-based decision support
of ecological assessments at any geographic scale. The system
integrates a state-of-the-art geographic information system
(GIS) that provides decision support for a substantial portion
of the adaptive management process of ecosystem management.

|
EnVision
EnVision is designed to be a full-featured rendering system
for stand- and landscape-scale images. Applicable projects
range from a few to several thousand acres. The system is
based on many of the original concepts used to develop the
Vantage Point visualization system. However, EnVision does
not attempt to model changes to the landscape over time.

VENTILATION
CLIMATE INFORMATION SYSTEM
The ventilation climate information system (VCIS) is a management
tool for smoke and other pollutants. VCIS allows users to
assess risks to values of air quality and visibility from
historical patterns of ventilation conditions. The Internet
server allows maps of ventilation potential to be overlain
with sensitive receptors, terrain features, or political boundaries.
The data apply to local, regional, or national scales.

CONSUME
2.1
Consume is a user-friendly computer program designed for
resource managers with some working knowledge of Microsoft
Windows® applications. The software predicts the amount
of fuel consumption and emissions from the burning of logged
units, piled debris, and natural fuels based on weather data,
the amount and fuel moisture of fuels, and a number of other
factors.

BIOPAK
BIOPAK (Means et al. 1994) is a menu-driven package of computer
programs for personal computers that calculates the biomass,
area, height, length, or volume of plant components (leaves,
branches, stem, crown, and roots) and biomass by fuels size
classes by using existing prediction equations. |
