What open source geo products have tools that may be specially useful for foresters and resource managers?

A discussion started on the QGIS-User list led to starting this page.

General Categories

What types of workflow or features are required for managing forests? Think broad, and then we can get into specifics in each category.

GPS traversing

General data capture to record paths, boundaries and locations using GPS.

  • Ability to turn it on/off
  • Ability to capture multiple types of features

Design and capture

Block, road, treatment areas

  • Connect various attributes to GPS collected information
  • Custom input forms

Mobile map platform

Following current and planned locations

  • Map layer control on/off
  • Zoom, pan, query
  • Basic feature calculations - length, area, sum attributes
  • Show GPS,
  • Auto panning map via GPS
  • Edit stand boundary and sale boundary shapefiles

Inventory collection and analysis

Backend database and front end collection of inventory details

  • Offline database, with inventory schema
  • Auto form generation for particular feature types
  • Syncing with master db when back online
  • Generation of reports such as stand tables, stocking tables, and associated information.
