Landuse
Practices |
| Human
Populations
- Size and growth of
the human population
- Water requirements
and availability
- Electricity requirements
Energy
- Remaining hydrocarbon
reserve size
- Roads and jobs generated
by the energy sector
- Revegetation rates
of seismic lines, wellsites, and pipelines
Forestry
- Forest harvest levels
- Economic profile of
various forest harvest scenarios
- Logging and fire
disturbance rates
- Forest patch size

Natural
Processes
|
| Fire
Regime, Suppression, and Insect Outbreaks
- Fire rates for each
forest landscape type
- Effects of fire regimes
on timber supply, wildlife habitat, and carbon pool dynamics
- Effects of forest
age class structure on the fire regime
- Insect-related mortality
rates for each forest landscape type
- Forest age class
structure associated with different insect herbivory regimes
- Effects of insect
outbreak on timber supply, wildlife habitat, and carbon pool dynamics
Spruce
Bark Beetle Kill

Wildlife
Habitat
- Tracks changes
in size and composition of wildlife populations
- Tracks changes
in habitat quantity and quality through time
- Allows user to
explore effects of buffering footprints (roads, seismic, cutblocks,
wellsites) on quantity and quality of wildlife
