SILVAH 8

SILVAH-8 provides the user the ability to select a desired future forest type, estimate survival and success of existing tree reproduction, integrate the stocking contribution of future stump sprouts, and predict future stand composition at the onset of the stem exclusion stage.  Users of SILVAH-8 will need to use the new Overstory & Understory Inventory Tally Sheets and Stand Information Sheet (pdf links below) when conducting their forest inventories.  Users may also find the User Guide to SILVAH 6.2 and the Overstory Data Entry Shortcuts helpful when entering inventory data although some parts of both documents have been revised since their initial publication.
