Andrew:

SELES was used as part of the decision-support process for the Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte Islands land-use planning process by Andrew Fall(1) and Dan O'Brient(2).

(1) [http://www.gowlland.ca/ Gowlland Technologies Ltd.]
(2) [http://www.cortex.ca]

=== Objective ===
To provide analytical supporting for the land-use planning process. Specifically, to do timber supply analysis and provide information for ecological risk analysis for a range of scenarios.

=== Preparation ===
*Processing of spatial information

=== Models Built ===
*Spatial timber supply model
*Ecological indicator models

=== Results ===
Planning process underway. See [http://ilmbwww.gov.bc.ca/ilmb/lup/lrmp/coast/qci/index.html Haida Gwaii LUP site]

SELES was used as part of an analysis of rapid deforestation in Russian Karelia. The research was undertaken in 2000-2001 by Charles Burnett(1,4), Andrew Fall(2), Risto Kalliola(1) and Erkki Tomppo(3).

(4) [http://mapswest.com MapsWest Geoscience]

=== Objective ===

=== Preparation ===
*Processing of Landsat 5 TM satellite scenes
*Multi-year assessment of logging patch history (patch characteristics)
*Masking of water, roads, gravel pits, etc.
*Classification of the forested land using Erkki Tomppo's kNN method

=== Models Built ===
*A (dynamic) patch model was used to reproduce 5-10 ha clear-cut logging.
*(Static) patch metric models were applied on the landscape maps at various eras to capture landscape fragmentation
*A (static) minimum spanning tree model was applied to the to assess connectivity

=== Results ===
"The future of some of the elementary components of the taiga in Fennoscandia depends on the condition of the taiga forests in Russia and on the connectivity of the Fennoscandian forest between Russia and Finland (Lindén et al. 2000). Given the patterns of harvesting we monitored and the scenarios modeled, we suggest that, in as little as 50 yr, near-natural forests in the study area will be found only in those areas that have been set aside for conservation.

== What is SELES? ==
The Spatially Explicit Landscape Event Simulator is a tool for constructing and running spatio-temporal landscape models that integrate natural and anthropogenic processes (e.g. fire, insect outbreaks, logging, succession) and track indicators (e.g. age class, habitat supply, timber volumes) over long time-frames and large spatial areas. SELES extends research in the fields of landscape ecology, simulation, and ecological modelling, and is useful as a tool for research on sustainable forest management, natural disturbance modelling and habitat modelling.

== What is SELES.info? ==
SELES.info is a Wiki for sharing SELES documentation, model code, images and training material.

Anyone can modify these pages. For the time being we will keep 'write access' completely open; it is quite easy to roll back changes (ah the beauty of MediaWiki). If we get abuse, we will re-think this policy. Please comment on this at [[Talk:Main Page|here]].

SELES.info is a community effort! Please visit our [[Guide|SELESwiki Guide]] and [[Support]] for suggestions on what and how to contribute.

== How is SELES.info organised? ==
Here are jumping off points to get you to the right place on SELES.info. Remember that this is a community Wiki: please add material and improve these pages.

=== Is this the only FAQ? ===
No, go to Model Junkyard...

=== What is SELES? ===
The Spatially Explicit Landscape Event Simulator is a tool for constructing and running spatio-temporal landscape models that integrate natural and anthropogenic processes (e.g. fire, insect outbreaks, logging, succession) and track indicators (e.g. age class, habitat supply, timber volumes) over long time-frames and large spatial areas. SELES extends research in the fields of landscape ecology, simulation, and ecological modelling, and is useful as a tool for research on sustainable forest management, natural disturbance modelling and habitat modelling.

==== New Heading ====

=== Who develops SELES? ===
SELES has one core developer: Dr. Andrew Fall (see Gowlland Technologies website [http://www.gowlland.ca/]). There are also an increasing number of SELES model programmers and a large pool of SELES model users. Although the main simulation tools are coded by Andrew, there is a growing community of SELES users who either run SELES models and examine the output, or who have the skills to modify or build their own scenario files.

Andrew's vision for SELES: provide the tool for free and only ask that people share their experiences and release their models back into the community.

=== What is the SELES approach? ===
Collaborative Modelling: Landscape management requires analysis of complex interactions among ecosystems and management regimes. Spatio-temporal simulation models are increasingly being used to assess potential long-term consequences of decisions on ecological, social and economic values. To be applied successfully in management situations, models must address appropriate questions, include relevant processes and interactions, be perceived as credible and involve people affected by decisions.

There are two requirements for success: (1) a tool that supports rapid model prototyping and modification, that makes a clear link between a conceptual and implemented model, and that has the ability to implement a wide range of model types; and (2) a framework or methodology for collaborative model building. Our approach has roots in adaptive management, computer-supported collaborative work, complexity theory, logic programming, computer simulation and landscape ecology.

=== What research has been done with SELES? ===
Go to our [[Case Studies|Case Studies]] section to learn more about past and present planning and research conducted with SELES. You can also get an overview of past work by browsing the [[Reference Lists]].

=== Where can I get SELES and SELES models? ===
Go to the [[SELES Executables]] section for a link to the SELES download site. You can view synopses and download the model files for a wide variety of models in the [[Model Junkyard]].

=== How can I get SELES documentation and training? ===
SELES documentation is avilable [[Documentation|here]]. There are on-line tutorials available in the [[Tutorials]] Section. We have also started a a [[FAQ]].

=== I need help! Is there anyone out there? ===
Information about discussion boards, mailing lists and contractors can be found in the [[Support]] Section.
