Agroforestry Design Software for Shade Targets and Tree Layouts
Start from a desired mean-shade target or retain full manual control. TreeShadeAdvisor connects provisional planting proposals, period-based validation, spacing adjustment, 2D/3D simulation, and reports in one workflow.
- Planting patterns describe geometry but not how modeled shade changes through time.
- Alternatives are clearer when plot, dimensions, location, date, and time remain controlled.
- Saved scenarios keep the design question connected to the inspected output.
- Design: Generate a proposal from a shade target and selected species, or place trees manually with patterns and templates.
- Validate: Evaluate expected mean shade across the configured annual period and area, including existing trees.
- Simulate and inspect: Apply the proposal and review 2D maps, 3D views, result metrics, and reports.
- Adjust: Let TSA test spacing toward the target or revise the layout manually and compare another scenario.
- Design → validate → simulate → analyze: Set a target, review the provisional pattern and spacing, validate its mean shade, and adjust if needed. Apply it only after inspection, then run and document the scenario. When tolerance cannot be reached, TSA retains the closest evaluated proposal rather than promising an exact result.
- Parameters: Plot and tree positions, Planting patterns, Tree dimensions, Location and period
- What to inspect: Move from a planting concept to inspectable 2D, 3D, and report outputs for the next design iteration.
