TELSA requires the following input data from
the user:
transition pathway diagrams with succession, management, and disturbance pathways and transition probabilities (these diagrams can be developed using VDDT and imported to TELSA);
landscape cover maps showing the distribution of vegetation cover and structure;
maps
of zones with different management constraints (such as parks,
watersheds, riparian zones);
management information (management limits, size classes of management units, age and order of activities); and
disturbance
size distributions, between-year variation and temporal
trends.
