Stand Generator

Generate a simulated longleaf pine stand and download it as a CSV ready to load into Pinescape:

US Units Metric

Planted Natural

Stand Area (Acres)

Area (ha)

Density, QMD, and Basal Area are linked: edit any two and the third recalculates automatically.

Basal Area (m²/ha)

Density (trees / ha)

QMD (cm)

Grass Stage Regeneration (trees / ha)

Non-interactive, does not count toward stand density.

Loading Your Stand Into Pinescape

Drag and drop the downloaded CSV into the SavedData/Local folder inside your Pinescape install directory, then choose "Load Session" in-game. Pinescape loads the first CSV alphabetically in that folder, so keep just one stand in there at a time. See the Getting Started guide for the full walkthrough.

Blank by default, so every stand is different. Enter a number to reproduce the same stand again later.

Prefer to Code Your Own Stands?

You can use our R coding template to be well on your way to generating your own, with the same math and CSV format as the tool above, plus ready-made stem map and diameter distribution plots.
