SYLVER is a stand level system that helps forest managers evaluate
the impact of Silvicultural treatments on Yield,
Lumber Value, and Economic
Return. It is developed in full for coastal Douglas-fir
and partially for western hemlock, Sitka spruce, western redcedar, interior
Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine and white spruce. It integrates the
yield data from TASS and other sub-systems, and predicts wood quality,
product recovery and financial return for various management regimes.
