In Ethiopia, deforestation rates remain high and the gap between demand and domestic
supply of forest products is expanding, even though government-initiated re-greening efforts …

As they fulfil many ecological and social functions and services better than even-aged
monocultures, heterogeneous pure and mixed-species stands are on the advance in Central …

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

Competition with neighboring trees of different species can affect crown size and shape.
However, whether intra-specific differences in crown characteristics in mixed stands …

Abstract Purpose of Review Producing wood of the right quality is an important part of forest
management. In the same way that forest growth models are valuable decision support tools …

A set of robust biomass equations was developed for European beech (Fagus sylvatica),
using a large database made of trees from three different European countries. Models were …

The tree crown is a useful measure of tree vigour and is highly relevant to a tree's
environmental adaptability. Crown allometry depends on environmental and stand …

Branch is an essential component that supports foliage for photosynthesis, and its size
appears as a major determinant for log grading. Forest managers have always been facing …

To investigate the effects of stand conditions and climatic factors on branch growth and the
dynamics of branch growth over time, we constructed a mixed-effects model on branch …

Key message Density was more important in sha** crown structure than neighbor species
