Virtual Sailor NG in an excellent nautical simulator, having excellent marine dynamics,this simulator allows you sail where ever you wish, to explore and customize your boatsand to train yourself on all forms of sailing.Virtual Sailor NG was created by Ilan Papini, first version released on June 2021.Virtual Sailor NG brings the best of my experience in developing marintime simulatorsThis experience began with the development of Virtual Sailor in the year 2001,later continued with Vehicle Simulator in the year 2009, Fire Flight in 2017,and finally Virtual Sailor NG in 2020.The program combines the best and most accurate physical models of vehicle dynamicsand ocean waves simulation, and is based upon the innovative physical elements methoddeveloped for Vehicle Simulator.The program uses DirectX as its graphics library and contains its own graphic engine.its netowrking library is based upon the ENet library using fast and reliable TCP/IP.all scenery and vehicles developed over the years for Virtual Sailor and Vehicle Simulatorare fully working in VS_NG, and additional in game scenery design has been added.I hope people will enjoy this program, appreciate the big effort it took to make,and show appreciation by bying the program.Please avoid using illegal and pirated copies, for the small independant developer piratedsoftware is the major cause of going out of business.Thanks,Ilan Papini
Landscape heterogeneity, i.e. the variation of ecological conditions in space and time, offers opportunities for ecological communities with various environmental requirements to co-exist at landscape level. Species turnover across spatial gradients (i.e. beta diversity) is considered a determinant of overall diversity of a landscape (i.e. gamma diversity, Tscharntke et al. 2012). In forest landscapes under natural dynamics, heterogeneity is provided and maintained by disturbances at different spatial scales such as forest fires, wind throws, and local-scale gap dynamics (Angelstam 1998; Kuuluvainen 2002, 2009; Bouget and Duelli 2004; Schütz et al. 2016). In contrast, landscapes that have been under intensive human use (production landscape), for instance in the European boreal and temperate forests, experience a simplification (homogenisation) of habitats at stand and landscape scales, threatening forest biodiversity (Kuuluvainen 2002; Kuuluvainen and Gauthier 2018). Fire suppression and the use of harvesting cycles (rotation length) shorter than tree life span have drastically reduced natural disturbances, while tree planting and seedling, tree selection and harvesting of timber (clear-felling or partial cuts) results in reduced tree species diversity and absence of important natural disturbance legacies (Bengtsson et al. 2000; Odion and Sarr 2007; Schütz et al. 2016). Consequently, managed forest stands, particularly in the clear-felling systems, lack important habitat features such as large old trees supporting micro-habitats (e.g. cavities) and large amount of standing and downed deadwood (Bouget et al. 2014; Juutilainen et al. 2014; Larrieu et al. 2017). At the landscape scale, forest management modifies the age-class distribution, with a much larger area with early successional stage and a drastic reduction of mature or old forest, as compared to natural forests (Kuuluvainen and Gauthier 2018). In more recently exploited forest landscapes, e.g. in North-American forests, timber extraction may increase heterogeneity by creating open and early stage forest habitats (although perhaps degraded). However, in the long-term, forestry activities generate stands that are similar to each other, creating landscapes with a narrow range of variation in structure compared to natural forests (Kuuluvainen and Gauthier 2018).
Given the diversity of life forms in forests, and that alternative management regimes are only partial reproduction of natural disturbances, it is unlikely that any single forest management regime would be able to support all forest-associated species. One particular management regime can be tailored to introduce heterogeneity at the stand level increasing local diversity. However, if systematically applied at landscape scale it would rather homogenize habitats and reduce beta diversity (e.g. continuous cover forestry, Schall et al. 2018). Some studies suggested optimal planning for multiple species groups (and multiple ecosystem services) should include several management regimes (Redon et al. 2014; Mönkkönen et al. 2014; Triviño et al. 2017; Eyvindson et al. 2018). This is in line with theoretical work on sustainable forest management, whose objective should be to produce irregularity, using a diversity of cutting options in combination (Schütz et al. 2016). Although not formally tested, it is assumed that more variation in management regimes is needed. Using a range of alternative regime should provide best opportunities to generate heterogeneous landscapes and offer habitats to a range of species groups with various ecological requirements, thus increasing beta diversity (Mönkkönen et al. 2018; Nolet et al. 2018).
The reason for an increased multispecies habitat availability in diversified scenarios is a complementarity of alternative management regimes in providing habitats for forest species with various habitat requirements. The comparison of management regimes in providing suitable habitats for the six biodiversity indicator species on average, showed the superiority of set-aside over alternative management regimes. However, set-aside was not the optimal management regimes for all species and the maximum habitat availability for each indicator species was obtain with different management regimes, indicating their complementarity in providing diversified habitats. One potential limitation, is that our habitat suitability models relied exclusively on local stand-level characteristics, ignoring spatial interactions. In landscape highly dominated by forest (as is the case here), edge effect and habitat complementation between forest and other habitats is minimal. To address this, one option would be to account for distances to clear-cuts when evaluating the suitability of stands, requiring landscape studies linking harvesting patterns to species presence, which are not common (but see e.g. Barbaro et al. 2007 or Kirkpatrick et al. 2017). In addition, the focal species are relatively good dispersers, thus, habitat availability is likely the driving force of population persistence and fragmentation is less of an issue. Alternatively, an additional step to habitat modelling would be to assess how habitat patches are connected in space and time (Martensen et al. 2017). Therefore, we believe spatially explicit models will not have a large impact on the observed patterns, however spatial configuration of management diversity effects on biodiversity is worth considering in the future.
On average the best management regimes that supported multispecies habitat availability were, in addition to set-aside, those combining longer rotation periods, absence of thinnings, and continuous cover forestry with delayed harvest. This combination of management regimes includes the best management regimes of each biodiversity indicator species, ensuring the simultaneous availability of habitats for different groups of species at landscape level. It should be noted green tree retention was poorly performing in our study, being only slightly better than the business-as-usual management. Previous studies showed the benefit of tree retention for biodiversity, but usually in comparison to conventional clear-cutting, not to other management alternatives (e.g. Fedrowitz et al. 2014). This might be because the business-as-usual management also included, following the Finnish legislation, some tree retention (10 trees/ha in BAU vs. 30 trees/ha in BAU_wGTR, see Table 1), or because we did not included true open-habitat specialist dependent on dry sun-exposed conditions (Siitonen 2001). Increased level of tree retention may not be the best taken alone but could complement other alternatives when applied simultaneously at stand level with for instance extended rotation (Felton et al. 2017), absence of thinnings, or continuous cover forestry (Gustafsson et al. 2012; Mönkkönen et al. 2018); combinations not tested here (Table 1).
Habitat heterogeneity could be further promoted by using additional alternative management regimes not included in the present study. Indeed, the alternative management regimes we used mostly emulate intermediate and late-successional habitats, while, for a complete coverage of biodiversity, early successional habitats should be restored as well (Kuuluvainen and Grenfell 2012). This could be achieved by introducing the whole gradient of partial cut/tree retention that would benefit both open- and closed-canopy species (Kebli et al. 2012; Pinzon et al. 2016). Deadwood enrichment using a diversity of tree species, and various topographic and soil conditions for created deadwood is expected to further increase habitat heterogeneity and species beta diversity (Gossner et al. 2013, 2016; Johansson et al. 2017). Finally, prescribed burning is the only alternative management able to produce burned deadwood substrates that are crucial for exclusive pyrophylous saproxylic organisms. Controlled low-intensity burning can increase total species richness and generate unique species composition of beetles communities (Toivanen and Kotiaho 2007; Hjältén et al. 2010; Heikkala et al. 2016).
Some of you probably already know, that I released the SCARM v. 1.0 Milestone version in the end of July 2017. Many users were happy to get the new version, but some were not, because there are changes in the licensing model and not all were aware of that.I am writing this post in order to try answering of all questions about the transition to the new version and to clarify the new way that I am taking with the development of SCARM for those who do not follow the posts in my blog. 59ce067264
