| 4. | Description | Abstract | WIS.2 is a DSS for monitoring and implementing the goal-oriented and sustainable managementof forest ecosystems, especially with regard to the integral management of signicant spatial andtemporal scales in forest ecosystems. WIS.2 considers multiple ecosystem goods and services in silviculturalmanagement and the implementation of silvicultural interventions, which are in accordance with theSwiss silvicultural tradition. WIS.2 takes a top-down approach, starting with the entrepreneurial strategy,and ending at short and mid-term interventions at stand level. WIS.2 structures the overall decision processacross multiple scales and provides decision support for each decision to be taken by organizing andconnecting available data and models.WIS.2 is based on MS Access and ArcGIS View and is composed of dierent applications, each handling amain aspect of the management of forest ecosystems. The tool is used at the level of higher education inforest management in Switzerland. WIS.2, initially developed during 2001-2005 within the framework of aPhD thesis at the ETH in Zurich (\Author" 2005a), has been successively improved through practical usein more than 10 case studies in ve Swiss Cantons. The main challenge is now to advance from a prototypeto an easily available consolidated IT product. |
