(FORPLAN) has been developed to facilitate the use of simulation for integrating fire into the land management planning process. FORPLAN incorporates unique characteristics of previous systems, links numerous models and databases, allows selection of variable resolution levels, and permits discrete time simulation of disturbances on plants, fuels and animals. No previous computer experience is required of the user, since FORPLAN recognizes simple English words and phrases.
