Within the framework of the project, the LandTAX application has been developed, which provides an automatic assessment of the potential productivity of habitats for different forest tree species in any area located in Poland, as well as the prediction of volume increment, of newly established and existing forest stands. The LandTAX system offers an automatic evaluation of the productivity of habitats for any area. The application also facilitates optimisation of species selection with respect to habitat suitability and the expected economic effects of afforestation, including timber and biomass production. Until now, there are no tools on the market to determine the growth potential of forest-forming species in non-forest areas. The developed application will be a tool for forest-wood sector companies providing services in the field of forest inventory, forest management planning, property valuation, including forest land and areas potentially designated for afforestation. This solution is also dedicated to the managers of private, local and state forests. The developed system aims at the domestic market with the possibility of expanding to international markets.
