The majority of past and current individual-tree growth modelling methodologies have failed
to characterise and incorporate structured stochastic components. Rather, they have relied …

The spatial and spatio-temporal patterns of wildfire incidence and their relationship to
various geographical and environmental variables are analyzed. Such relationships may be …

While the successional dynamics and large‐scale structure of Douglas‐fir forest in the
Pacific Northwest region is well studied, the fine‐scale spatial characteristics at the stand …

This paper presents a review of the most common methods in ecological studies aimed at
spatial analysis of population structures (horizontal and vertical), based on point process …

Ecologists increasingly use spatial statistics to study vegetation patterns. Mostly, however,
these techniques are applied in a purely descriptive fashion without a priori statements on …

Question: Are species‐specific regeneration strategies and competition the dominant
processes facilitating species coexistence in a Quercus liaotungensis dominated temperate …

This thesis is concerned with the expression of relatively long-timescale growth forcing in
tree-ring chronologies. The operation of different standardisation techniques, used in …

A complex multivariate spatial point pattern of a plant community with high biodiversity is
modelled using a hierarchical multivariate point process model. In the model, interactions …

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 …

The relationships between the Local Indicator of Spatial Association (LISA) and traditional
tree competition indices and individual tree growth were investigated. The results show that …
