PINEMAP Decision Support System

The PINEMAP decision support system (DSS) is a map-based collection of climate and forest productivity web tools designed to provide region-wide information on likely future climate risks (such as changes in precipitation and temperature), opportunities, and impacts on southern pine at a watershed-scale.The tools in the PINEMAP DSS use climate data and regional productivity models to explore the relationships between pine trees and climate.  DSS tools transform output from PINEMAP research into a framework to allow professional foresters and clients to make informed land management decisions.
