MHS-CBAU (Magic Harvest Scripting - Canadian Business As Usual)
📑 Description
MHS-CBAU is a an approach to simulate a Business-As-Usual forest management in Canadian lanscapes that are simulated with the LANDIS-II model and its Magic Harvest extension. In essence, it is made to simulate harvesting in LANDIS-II simulations in Canadian landscapes.
MHS-CBAU works through a specific Python script (available in this repository) that is called by Magic Harvest during a LANDIS-II simulation. The Python script will make all forest management decisions, and then pass them to the Biomass Harvest extension of LANDIS-II which will execute the harvesting. To learn more about this method of using Magic Harvest and Biomass Harvest in tandem, please see this workshop.
