Software and databases provided by station scientists cover decision support and planning tools,
analysis tools, social impacts and insects and disease.
Resource Management and Use
-
ArcHSI (Arc Habitat Suitability Index),
a geographical information system (GIS) model that estimates the ability
of an area to meet the food and cover requirements of an animal species,
from the
Center for Great Plains Ecosystem Research group
at the Rapid City Forestry Sciences Laboratory.
-
PLATA,
a software application for doing economic analysis of a planning project,
from the
Economic Aspects of Forest Management on Public Lands group
at the Missoula Forestry Sciences Laboratory.
-
MAGIS,
a software spatial decision support system for scheduling a variety of vegetation treatments
and road-related activities including construction, reconstruction, and obliteration.
It is also available in an EXPRESS version,
structured primarily as a timber harvest-road access tool.
Available from the
Economic Aspects of Forest Management on Public Lands group
at the Missoula Forestry Sciences Laboratory.
-
Decision Support Tools,
predicting ecosystem response to a wide range of conditions, both natural and
human caused, at a variety of temporal and spatial scales,
from the
Forest Ecosystem Dynamics in the Interior West group
at the Moscow Forestry Sciences Laboratory.
-
SIMPPLLE,
a software application designed to simulate patterns and processes at landscape scales
from the
Ecology and Management of Northern Rocky Mountain Forests
group at the Missoula and Bozeman Forestry Sciences Laboratories.
-
WATSED,
a computer model to assess cumulative watershed effects of past, present,
and future management activities,
from the
Economic Aspects of Forest Management on Public Lands group
at the Missoula Forestry Sciences Laboratory.

-
FARSITE,
a software
simulator of fire behavior and growth,
from the
Fire Behavior group
at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory.
-
FireFamily Plus,
a software application
combining the fire climatology and occurrence analysis capabilities of
the PCFIRDAT, PCSEASON, FIRES, and CLIMATOLOGY programs into a single package,

a fire behavior mapping and analysis software application that computes potential fire behavior characteristics,
from the
Fire Behavior group
at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory.
-
Fire Weather website,
supporting the RMRS Rocky Mountain Center development and deployment of
real-time computer applications for fire-weather intelligence and smoke
dispersion forecasts over the Western USA.
Developed by the
Natural Resource Assessment, Ecology, and Management Science Research
group at the Rocky Mountain Research Station.
-
Fire Modeling Institute website,
providing assistance with fire-related planning, research,
practical applications of fire management tools, and finding or ordering scientific literature.
The Institute includes highly skilled fire professionals and information specialists at the
Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory
who are available to help managers and scientists with a wide range of fire-related needs.
