Aim of the study: Thinning experiments in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands have been
carried out since long in different regions of its distribution. The aim of this paper is to gather …

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 …

A crown ratio model for individual trees is developed for all major tree species in Austria.
The study is part of a comprehensive project developing a distance-independent single tree …

The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program of the Forest Service, US Department of
Agriculture, conducts a national inventory of forests across the United States. A systematic …

Many recent studies have shown that the structure, density, and productivity of mixed-
species stands can differ from the weighted mean of monospecific stands of the respective …

Carbon storage in forests can be increased to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We
use a joint production model of timber production and carbon sequestration to analyse the …

The effects of timing and intensity of precommercial thinning were studied in three Scots
pine artificially regenerated stands on Vaccinium forest sites in southern Finland. A two-level …

The inclusion of quadratic mean diameter (QMD) and relative spacing index (RSI)
substantially improved the predictive capacity of height–diameter at breast height (dbh) and …

Dynamic decomposition models are needed to estimate changes in the carbon stock of
boreal soil because these changes are difficult to measure directly. An important …
