Abstract Height–diameter (H–D) models are fundamental tools for predicting the relationship
between tree H–D at breast height, for numerous applications in forestry. Increasingly …

In the present study the chronosequence approach was applied to the analysis of the
dynamics of the growth of 2–45-year-old grey alder stands (Alnus incana) growing at fertile …

Forest research has long traditions in Estonia that can be traced back to the 19th century.
Data from long-term forest experiments are available since 1921. The first studies mainly …

The availability of a large amount of data from reliable sources is important for forest growth
modelling. A permanent plot where trees are repeatedly measured provides a clearer …

In light of the difficulties in stand volume estimation of natural forests, we analyzed height–
diameter relationships and derived a set of height estimation equations for volume …

Hybrid aspen is one of the most promising tree species for short-rotation forestry in Northern
Europe. After the clearcutting of hybrid aspen plantation, the next generation arises from root …

Growth assessment of young stands gives the possibility of assessing forest site potential,
tree species-dependent competition and developing realistic predictions for the following …

Biomass can be estimated by different apparoaches. Volume and taper are important factors
to assess the opportunties to utilize biomass from multipurpose short rotation forestry. The …

Growth assessment of young stands gives the possibility of assessing forest site potential,
tree species-dependent competition and developing realistic predictions for the following …

Height distribution patterns of young, especially naturally regenerated mixed broadleaves
stands, have not been extensively studied in Estonia. Still, the percentage of stands left for …
