NED-2: A decision support system for integrated forest ecosystem management

Resources currently addressed include visual quality, ecology, forest health, timber, water, and wildlife. NED-2 expands on previous versions of NED applications by integrating treatment prescriptions, growth stimulation, and alternative comparisons with evaluations of multiple resources across a management unit.
