Design and development of supporting tool for target-tree-operation management

The establishment of criterion of tree classification is an essential process in the close-to-natural forest management practice, especially in target trees´ operation designing. In order to realize structuring, automation and informatization of the criteria and standards of tree classification, supporting tool for target-tree-operation management was developed with VBA programming language based on Excel development environment. Design and implementation of the tool was introduced in detail, furthermore, what can be improved is posed, which underpinned further research of the criteria and standards of tree classification and determination of target/disturbance trees.
