Three-dimensional visualisation is a complement to single-tree modelling of forest growth and provides new possibilities for gaining insight into and spreading information on forest growth. Methods of scientific visualisation are described examplarily by means of stand profile drawings, crown maps, stand top views, walkthroughs and landscape image simulations all of which contribute towards illustrating natural developments and human operations in the forest. Not only do they support forest science instruction and research as well as forestry practice but they may also be useful in landscape planning and nature conservation. Scientific visualisation implies the use of graphics programmes for the processing and exploiting of knowledge contained in measuring and simulation results. The visualisation of macro structures at the individual tree, stand and landscape level assists in the illustration and analysis of measuring data, model preparation of investigation objects and the didactic transportation of research results into forest science. It represents an effective, methodological progress in the paradigm changeover from the stand concept to the single tree approach.
