27
? We were able to ascertain all the information relating to the
forest stand dynamics in both the managed and unmanaged areas by
locating and examining the records associated with block
27
in the blocks.csv
,
features.csv
and
curves.csv
files. Two important questions
remain: what management options are available for block
27
and what products are derived from various
management treatments? These questions can be answered by exploring
the remaining two core files: treatments.csv
and products.csv
.
Example 17. Records from the treatments file
TRACK BEGIN END TREATMENT NEWTRACK ADJUST OFFSET RETAIN ... 19 86 300 CC 19 A 0 0 19 506 620 CC 19 A 0 0 23 86 300 CC 23 A 0 0 23 506 720 CC 23 A 0 0 28 86 300 CC 28 A 0 0 28 406 620 CC 28 A 0 0 ...
The treatments.csv
file is organized by
track number as well. To find the management treatment options
available for block 27
we must find the records
for Track.23
. There will be one record for each
treatment type option for each track.
Two records exist for Track.23
, indicating
there are two treatment options in this block. The treatment is a
CC
(clearcut), available between the ages of
86 and 300 or again after a succession event between 506 and 700.
If the CC
treatment is applied to block
27
, it will have a post-treatment condition
specified by the NEWTRACK field. The new track value is
Track.23
(the same as before the treatment),
but the offset age will be set to 0
.

We can use the Treatment Editor to see how the restrictions and options
from the treatments.csv
file are applied to
the modelling process.
