Add to ORKGEffective national forest planning depends on scientifically sound analyses of land management alternatives relative to desired future conditions and environmental effects. The USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region is currently using state-and-transition simulation models (STMs) to simulate changes in forest composition and structure for the revisions of five forest plans in Oregon and Washington. We illustrate the use of STMs to examine current and desired forest conditions, develop forest plan environmental impact statement (EIS) alternatives, and evaluate environmental effects, with examples from the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest (Washington, U.S.A.). Model parameters include ecosystem states and natural and human-caused dist...
