Abstract
ASPENEX is a software package developed to demonstrate the potential of an expert system to integrate new computer technologies for streamlining decisionmaking processes in various areas of forest resource management. A user friendly shell on a microcomputer integrates several advanced technology tools including; geographic information system and communication software to assist resource managers on the Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin, with aspen management. ASPENEX offers the natural resource community the first useable link between a micro based expert system and the Data General; thus offering the user the power of a minicomputer and the advantages of a microcomputer.
