The GRASS module r.recovery

The r.recovery module was implemented as an add-on for GRASS software, a largely applied open-source Geographic Information System (GIS), and it offers a complete environment for the simulation of forestry regeneration in conservation areas, including a built-in tool for calibration and validation of the model parameters by means of standard and freely available satellite imagery. Besides, it allows the delineation of irregular computational domains, such that the user is allowed to precisely select arbitrary portions of the scene where the simulation should be performed. We remark
that the r.recovery tool can be advantageously applied by forestry managers and policy-makers as a form of acquiring technical and scientifically-based information for strategy development and decision-making.
