The simulators\u2019 platform, sIMfLOR was recently created to implement different growth models with a common philosophy. The objective was developing one easily-updatable, user-friendly, forest management and climate change sensitive simulator capable of projecting growth for the main tree species in Portugal.Area of the study: Portugal.Material and methods: The new simulator was programmed in a modular form consisting of several modules. The growth module integrates different forest growth and yield models (empirical and process-based) for the main wood production tree species in Portugal (eucalypt, umbrella and maritime pines); whereas the management module drives the growth projections along the planning horizon according to a range of forest management approaches and climate (at present only available for eucalypt).Main results: The main result is the StandsSIM-MD Management Driven simulator that overcomes the limitations of the existing stand level simulators. It is a step forward when compared to the models currently available in the sIMfLOR platform covering more tree species, stand structures and stand compositions. It is focused on end-users and it is based on similar concepts regarding the generation of required inputs and generated outputs.Research highlights:-\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Forest Management Driven simulations approach-\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Multiple Prescriptions-Per-Stand functionality-\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 StandsSIM-MD can be used to support landowners decisions on stand forest management-\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 StandsSIM-MD simulations at regional level can be combined with optimization routinesKeywords: Forest simulator, Forest Management Approaches; StandsSIM-MD; forest management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5424\/fs\/2016252-08916","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,20]],"date-time":"2016-07-20T10:39:52Z","timestamp":1469011192000},"page":"eRC07","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["StandsSIM-MD: a Management Driven forest SIMulator"],"prefix":"10.5424","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0174-854X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susana","family":"Barreiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7035-438X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Rua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6242-8593","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margarida","family":"Tom\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"2373","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bbb.1421"},{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Portuguese forest simulator - StandsSIM description Relat\u00f3rios T\u00e9cnicos Forchange RT3","author":"Rua","year":"2015","unstructured":"Rua J, Barreiro S, Tom\u00e9 M, 2015.
