Simulation model in determining forestry and plantation circumstances

Plantation and forestry systems consist of several dynamic subsystems as well as complexes that are integrated. Plantation and forestry productivity is largely determined by the interactions of each of these sub-systems. Simulation models can illustrate interactions between sub-systems in detail to be analyzed and evaluated in predicting any conditions that may occur. The model is indispensable because it leads to significant savings in time and money. This article is compiled by selecting and analyzing the previous research methods selected to draw conclusions on interactions between sub-systems to achieve effective and efficient plantation productivity. The final results show that how sub-systems affect forestry and plantation productivity can be demonstrated by hybrid simulation models. Therefore, hybrid simulation methods can be used to determine the integration process of each party in affecting the productivity of plantations and forests. The hybrid simulation model incorporated in two distinct approaches, namely Agent Based Modeling and System Dynamics. The models of hybrid simulation are useful as an illustration of interactions between each sub-system taking into account influential input variables.
