The Landscape Management System (LMS) is found in the environmental hypothesis of “constant change” (Botkin 1990, Sprugel 1991).This landscape management system is based upon observations that periodic disturbances demolish big and little patches which grow again through a sequence of structural stages. Since the arrangement of a patch modifies through increase and disturbance, plant and wildlife populations alteration through movement, growth, dormancy, and passing away.
 
Traditionally all wood structures were represented across big landscapes on a fluctuating foundation. The landscape management system provides an active stability of stands in different structural stages, providing habitats for a variety of plant and nature species.
 
Data treatment in LMS is done with Microsoft Windows® software that integrates landscape-level spatial information, stand-level list data, regionally specific enlargement models, and computer visualization software to help in the choice making procedure in the same landscape management system. The precise procedures for these outputs were developed through a combined effort of the University of Washington, College of Forest Resources, Washington State University and the US Forest Service. LMS or in other words landscape management system is invented for use in combination with restricted, on-the-ground facts of the precise site and landscape. more…
