A model for forest resources management based on artificial neural network

Introduced the method of artificial neural networks, established a three-tier management of forest resources feed-forward back-propagation neural network model. Simulation results show that artificial neural network model can be applied to dynamic simulation of forest resources. And high precision, linear regression equation is a strong correlation. The results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the ANN models to the regression models due to their ability to overcome the problems in forest data. The ANN technique introduced in this study is sufficiently general and has great potential to be applicable to many forest resources management modeling applications providing a very useful tool as an alternative to traditional analysis models.
