Welcome to the efiscen wiki!

EFISCEN is a forest resource projection model. It is used to gain insight into the future development of European forests for issues such as:

sustainable management regimes; wood production possibilities; nature oriented management; climate change impacts natural disturbances; and carbon balance issues.

Through its underlying detailed forest inventory database, the projections provide these insights at varying scales, thus serving forest managers and policy makers at the national and international levels.

Since 1996, EFISCEN has been jointly developed and applied at Alterra and EFI. EFISCEN has been released under GPL v3 in 2016.
