Summary
- Heurekas is now using DotSpatial's GIS-library (http://dotspatial.codeplex.com) for spatial computations and map rendering. DotSpatial is free, open-source, widely used, fast and has many features. It provides a good foundation to extend Heureka's future GIS-capabilities. In version 2.4, the user will notice few differences compared to version 2.3. The map dialog form is slighty modified, and consists of four tabs called Heureka Maps, Layers, Tools, and Treatment Unit Info. Layers and Tools were not available in previous versions.
New features
DotSpatial as GIS-engine
Heurekas is now using DotSpatial's GIS-library (http://dotspatial.codeplex.com) for spatial computations and map rendering. DotSpatial is free, open-source, widely used, fast and has many features. It provides a good foundation to extend Heureka's GIS-capabilities. In version 2.4, the user will notice few differences compared to version 2.3. The toolbox for maps is slight modified, and consists of four tabs called Heureka Maps, Layers, Tools, and Treatment Unit Info. Layers and Tools were not available in previous versions.
Marklund's biomass functions
As an alternative to Petersson's functions (1999) for above ground tree biomass, you can now use the "classic" Marklund's functions (1988). The main difference between them is that Marklund's functions includes tree height as explanatory variable, which is not case for Petersson. You can select the function in control table Production Model. Note that Marklund (1999) contains several different function variants for each tree fraction. See more about the biomass function on the new wiki page Model:Biomass functions.
Note that for stumps and roots, Petersson & Ståhl (2006) is used, now also for young stands. For young stands, no biomass was calculated for stumps and roots in previous versions.
Bug fixes
Bug fix: Mean age in period 0 differed for young stands compared to initial state
For young stands, the intial mean age (in period 0) differed in a simulation with about 2.5 years compared to the value displayed under Initial State > Details.
Other improvements
Customize search path:s to Heureka folders
Under Settings, you can change the search paths to Heureka projects and Heureka common files, from the default location under My Documents to another location if you so prefer.
