  1. Ecology Research have want Models Resource Management Visualizing Tree Crowns for Forest Managers: Informatics Tools Enhance Natural Resource Management http://alala.evergreen.edu/dnr Judy Cushing, Lee Zeman, Nik Molnar Natalie Kopytko, Juli Mallett Anne McIntosh, Nalini Nadkarni The Evergreen State College, Olympia, WA Fred Martin, Ted Keeley Washington State Dept of Natural Resources Lois Delcambre, David Maier Portland State University Which Trees to Leave? 100 Crowns Among 1000 Trees in the 1000-Year Chronosequence Help natural resource managers respond to policy & environmental change by providing ecology research results • What we are doing: • Revising visualizations & metrics developed for researchers for resource management. • Surveying experts to characterize crowns from a research database. • Producing Crown Catalog w/ ratings using revised rules. • Conducting ecology research to analyze crown gaps. • What we will do next: • Evaluate new rules and use of crown catalog. • Scale up in space – integrate field data with remotely sensed LIDAR data. • Future CS Research Directions: • More end-user programmed visualization, incl. animation. • Better pattern recognition. • Interpolation and extrapolation for missing data. • Better, dynamic models that run forward and backward, and can integrate new data. Which Tree is or has: Best Wildlife Tree? Many Crown Gaps? Legacy Tree? Economic Value? • Our managers want: • Refined rules for Leave Tree selection. • Help communicating decisions & outcomes to harvesters, the public, ecologists. • Research results at higher spatial and temporal scales and that are applicable to incomplete data.
