Scenario analysis with a stand growth simulator: given an initial state of a forest stand of Norway spruce (red) and European beech (green), stand simulators can display the long-term consequences of different management options. Here we show the stand development from age 30 to 100 years for self-thinning (scenario a), thinning from above in favour of beech (b), transition to selection forest (c), and thinning from below with clearcut at age 100 (d) based on simulation runs with the SILVA model (Pretzsch et al. 2002)
