The ongoing global climate change is challenging all sectors, forestry notwithstanding. On
the one hand, forest ecosystems are exposed to and threatened by climate change, but on …

Key message Height–diameter models were developed specifically for Pinus nigra Arn., an
important commercially species extending in the Mediterranean and central Europe region …

Key message The proposed height–diameter model applicable to many tree species in the
multi-layered and mixed stands across Czech Republic shows a high accuracy in the height …

Unmanned aerial vehicle laser scanning (UAVLS) systems present a relatively new means
of remote sensing and are increasingly applied in the field of forest ecology and …

We are currently witnessing significant global changes in climate conditions. We cannot
change the natural conditions, but with regard to sustainable landscape management, we …

As a result of human population growth and human need for resources, the landscape has
been increasingly transformed and devastated by mining activities. Subsequent …

Crown size is strongly correlated with tree growth. Crown width (CW) is affected by tree size,
site quality and competition, but most CW models do not quantify the effects of stand …

Tropical forest degradation makes a major contribution to greenhouse gas emission. Crown
width (CW) is one of the important predictors in forest growth and yield models that provide …

Crown size estimations are of vital importance in forest management practice. This paper
presents nonlinear models that were developed for crown width prediction of Black pine …

Abstract The European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) is one of the most economically important
European coniferous species. With the expected decline of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) …
