What is an FVS?
The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a family of forest growth simulation models. It is a system of highly integrated analytical tools that is based upon a body of scientific knowledge developed from decades of natural resources research and experience.

What are the 3 types of forests?
The word forest broadly describes an area that has a large number of trees. There are three general types of forest that exist: temperate, tropical, and boreal. Experts estimate that these forests cover approximately one-third of Earth’s surface. Temperate forests are found across eastern North America and Eurasia.

What type of training does the FVS staff offer?
The FVS Staff of the Forest Management Service Center offers many types of training including self -paced training, instructor-led Training, and web-based training. We provide self-paced training, including tutorials, exercise guides, and videos. The tutorials are a great way to learn the model or brush up on certain topics.
What is forest value system (FVS)?
Since its initial development in 1973, FVS has become a system of highly integrated analytical tools. These tools are based upon a body of scientific knowledge developed from decades of natural resources research. At its core, FVS requires basic forest inventory and stand examination information.
What is the difference between output output and FVS training?
Outputs include tree volumes, biomass, density, canopy cover, harvest yields, fire effects, and much, much more. FVS training includes self-paced training, instructor-led training, and web-based training.
