With the staggering development of computer and graphics sciences
stand visualization technology has become a solid foundation and guarantee for digital and meticulous forestry in the 21st century.Beginning with the basic principles of stand visualization system(SVS)
we demonstrated the operation and outputs of SVS based on the forest survey in Mulan Weichang state-owned forest farm.In addition
we illustrated the technical process of individual tree simulation and mixed plantation visualization via SVS.The simulation outcomes were analyzed and discussed as well.The results of the this study indicated that SVS could provide successfully an intuitive
three-dimensional picture with substantial statistical data of forest stands
including species and DBH distribution
height structure and forest canopy.In the fictitious forest environment
SVS can be used to design and modify various forest management plans
and to simulate the entire process of forest management.We concluded that SVS is an ideal tool for visualize forest management.In the end
the paper discussed the current limitations and possible future needs in development.
