 The "Habitat Model" is a standalone GIS program that requires and ArcGIS license to run. It applies a kind of "Moving Window" algorithm which classifies suitable habitat for a species as a function of the state forest. "Habitat Model" can evaluate several plans, several time periods, and several different models in the same run. There are currently models for six species that have been selected as representative for different kind of habitat, and these species have different spatial requirements.

 The Heureka Forestry Decision Support System (DSS) is a suite of freely available softwares developed and hosted by the [http://www.slu.se Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU)]. The system covers the whole decision support process from data inventory to tools for selecting among plan alternatives with multi-criteria decision making techniques.
-The vision is that the system should contribute to a more profitable and environmentally friendly forestry. The utilities handled by the system is timber production, recreation values, bilogical diversity, and carbon storage. By integrating these components in one system, a holistic planning approach can be taken on these issues.

By including these in the same system, a holistic approach to forestry planning is made possible.
 The system is designed so that it will be relatively easy to add new functionality as new research results and models become available.
