Forest site productivity, usually represented by site index (SI), is a fundamental resource
variable in forest management planning as it is a quantitative measure of the production …

Site index (SI) is a common measure of forest site productivity, serving as a valuable
baseline for forest management. The main objective of this study was to develop a SI model …

Forest growth varies across landscapes due to the intricate relationships between various
environmental drivers and forest management. In this study, we analysed the variation of …

Key message Site form and site index have shown similar precision for estimating site
quality in even-aged Pinus radiata D. Don stands in north-western Spain. Additionally, SF …

Site quality estimation is an important tool in forest management since it is useful for
modeling growth and yield for even-aged stands. Data from African mahogany (Khaya …

Key message A novel periodic site index is introduced for the quantification of dynamic
forest site productivity. The measure is age-independent, sensitive to environmental …

Plantation forests enhance carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems in China. Larix
