The important role that forests play in the global carbon cycle has led to the implementation
of management practices to enhance long-term carbon storage in forests. Obtaining …

Reliable tree height-diameter (HD) allometric equations are a key tool for the estimation of
forest productivity and Above Ground Biomass (AGB). Most existing HD allometric equations …

Implementation of sustainable forest management approaches, balancing mass timber
production and intact ecosystem services through maintaining species diversity, has ever …

Models that incorporate known species-mixing effects on tree growth are essential tools to
properly design silvicultural guidelines for mixed-species stands. Here, we developed …

Determining site quality is essential in order to develop sustainable forest management,
allowing more appropriate silvicultural decisions to be made. However, most studies carried …

Site form (SF), expressed as the dominant height of a stand at a reference dominant
diameter, is used less often than site index (SI) to estimate forest site quality. However, it has …

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 …

This study was carried out to identify relationships between site index (dominant height at a
reference age) and ecological variables of trembling poplar forests in Türkiye. Samples were …

Afforestation is an important practice in silviculture. This chapter outlines the forest site, site
preparation, selection of afforestation materials in the process of afforestation. The life cycle …

To analyze the root-soil water relationship at the stand level, we integrated ground-
penetrating radar (GPR), which characterized the distribution of lateral coarse roots (> 2 mm …
