In PlanWise and RegWise, the stands in a selected area can be divided into different Forest Domains, and separate settings for simulations can be specified for each Forest Domain. For example, one Forest Domain can be fertilized, while another can be managed as continuous cover forest. Numerous kinds of settings are available: from specification of silvicultural activities to choices of price lists and growth functions. A supplementary way of linking stands to different control tables is described in the section Conditional control tables.

 

 

Figure 1. Examples of the use of Forest Domains and control categories for a forest estate where the "Målklass" classification from the Swedish Forest Agency has been retrieved from an existing forest management plan, and is used to define Forest Domains. Each Forest Domain (in this case Målklass) has been linked to a specific control category (with rules for management).
