GLI Ray Tracer

Owners: Lora Murphy and Charles Canham.

This program takes as input a set of trees and a set of light rays and determines, for each ray, which trees intersect it. A help file can be found here. This tool is available as Java source code. You are responsible for compiling and running the code.

Harvest with Advanced Regeneration Protection (HARP)

Owner: Mark Vanderwel

This program implements a harvest prescription termed HARP (Harvest with Advanced Regeneration Protection). It is a combination of stripcutting (all trees are cut along parallel vertical skid trails) and diameter-limit cutting (all trees above a lower diameter threshold are cut). It is designed to be implemented through the Harvest Interface feature of SORTIE, and can be combined with the Lagged Post Harvest Growth and Post Harvest Skidding Mortality behaviors. This is as published in Thorpe et al 2010.

Spatial Partial Harvest

Owner: Mark Vanderwel

This program implements a partial harvest prescription that is specified in terms of intensity and spatial pattern. It is designed to be implemented through the Harvest Interface feature of SORTIE. This is as published in Vanderwel et al 2011.

Selection Harvest Module Source Code

Owner: Mike Fuller

This is the source code for an external module that works with the Harvest Interface behavior in SORTIE. The classes implement single-tree and group cutting silviculture, and permit the user to set rough basal-area targets for different stem size classes (e.g. "cut 30% of size class A", etc.).
