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 …

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

A large research effort was initiated in the 1990s in western United States and Canada to
investigate how the development of old-growth structures can be accelerated in young even …

Abstract Information on wood properties is crucial in estimating wood quality and forest
biomass and thus developing the precision and sustainability of forest management and …

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 …

Douglas-fir is the most commercially important timber species in the US Pacific Northwest
due to its ecological prevalence and its superior wood attributes, especially strength and …

The detection and quantification of competition at the stand level is important in forest
management because competition reduces growth and increases the risk of mortality. This is …

Static models of individual tree crown attributes such as height to crown base and maximum
branch diameter profile have been developed for several commercially important species …

The influence of stand density on Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] is
conceptually understood, but for wide spacings not well quantified, particularly in Europe …

With few exceptions crown profile models for coniferous trees have conventionally been
estimated within the least squares framework that is confined to describing the central trend …
