Simulation
The integration of the forest growth simulation is implemented as follows:
A tree list is generated in ArcGIS Pro and transfered to the simulation server via a
simple REST interface. The tree growth is predicted for 50 years with help of the
forest growth model SILVA 2.2
(Chair of Forest Yield Science)
on the simulation server. A new tree list is returned to ArcGIS and joined to the
tree point layer. Trees of a single simulation period (5 yeares) are displayed by enabeling
Time.
Currently selected trees can be passed to the Simulation. These could be the ones that remain after a thinning operation. This gives the possibility to simulate how changes of the forest structure depend on the removed trees.
