The article represents an attempt to integrate long-term forest ecosystem modelling with modern techniques of exploratory data analysis. The idea of the integration was to build up a prototype system for forestry decision-making at landscape (forest enterprise) level to support the spatially oriented tasks arising from Criteria & Indicators of Sustainable Forest Management. A model test was performed on a small forest plot consisting of various stands (forest inventory compartments) with two scenarios of silvicultural regimes. A combined spatially explicit forest simulation model
