Growth and yield modeling has a long history in forestry. Methods of measuring the growth
of uneven-aged forest stands have evolved from those developed in France and Switzerland …

Once forests have achieved a full canopy, their growth rate declines progressively with age.
This work used a global data set with estimates from a wide range of forest types, aged 20 …

Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides
insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and …

This book attempts to make growth models more accessible to foresters and others
interested in mixed forests, whether planted or natural. There is an increasing interest in …

Forest mensuration is one of the most fundamental disciplines within forest and related
sciences. It deals with the measurement of trees and stands and the analysis of the resultant …

Publisher Summary The self-thinning rule describes plant mortality because of competition
in crowded even-aged stands. The rule is best understood with respect to a graph of log …

Tropical forests may have many species, indeterminate ages, and a wide range of growth
habits and stem sizes and thus require special modeling techniques. But technique …

Covering large parts of Europe, Norway spruce (Picea abies L Karst.) plays an important
role in the adaptation strategy of forest services to future climate change. Although …

Comparisons between competing and noncompeting populations of three annual plant
species demonstrate that plant allometry is altered by competition. When plants are grown in …

Climatic constraints on tree growth mediate an important link between terrestrial and
atmospheric carbon pools. Tree rings provide valuable information on climate‐driven growth …
