FSVeg Spatial Data Analyzer (DA) is a GIS-based application for project and landscape-level analysis. The DA incorporates the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) as its modeling tool to model current and future conditions, including carbon outputs, for forested landscapes on USDA Forest Service lands.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to evaluate the benefits of using FSVeg Spatial Data Analyzer for project and landscape-level analysis.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe how FVS-generated carbon outputs are produced and displayed using FSVeg Spatial Data Analyzer.
