TIMBER
Timber stand climate risk.
A cruise tells you what's there today. Climate-fit scoring tells you what it will be worth to hold — and which stands to bring forward, thin, or replant differently.
The four drivers
- Fire weather. FWI trajectory per stand, projected 20 years.
- Drought code. Seasonal moisture-deficit trajectory.
- Pest pressure. Overwintering-survival trend for the dominant threat.
- Species fit. How well the current species mix matches the future climate envelope.
What ArchipelAI gives you
The Forest Health workspace runs the four drivers across every stand in your permit and rolls them into a per-stand climate-fit score. Try it live in the forestry demo.

Common questions
- What is climate-fit scoring for a timber stand?
- A composite that combines fire weather trajectory, drought code, pest pressure, and species-specific climate envelope against a 20-year projection. Stands with poor climate fit are candidates for early harvest, thinning, or species substitution at replanting.
- How is this different from a cruise?
- A cruise measures what's there today. Climate-fit scoring projects what it will be worth to hold — as standing timber, as an insurance risk, and as a replanting decision — over the horizon that matters for a working permit.
- Which permit-level decisions does this actually change?
- Harvest scheduling (bring poor-fit stands forward), thinning capital allocation (concentrate where pressure is rising fastest), replanting species choice (match the future envelope, not the historical one), and permit-level insurance.
- How often should the scores be re-run?
- Every season for the fire and drought drivers; annually for pest and species fit. The ArchipelAI world model re-runs both cadences automatically and pushes changes to the permit view.
