Forests are experiencing an environment that changes much faster than during the past
several hundred years. In addition, the abiotic factors determining forest dynamics vary …

Indicators of forest site productivity may exhibit considerable spatial and temporal variability
that should be considered in sustainable forest management. It is generally assumed that …

Abstract The Nordic and Baltic countries are in the frontline of replacing fossil fuel with
renewables. An important question is how forest management of the productive parts of this …

Forest site productivity, which is a quantitative estimate of the potential of a site to produce
plant biomass, remains a fundamental variable in forestry. The most commonly used and …

For boreal forests in colder climates, changes in environmental conditions are hypothesised
to substantially affect ecosystem processes. In this study, trends of top height growth of Scots …

Site productivity remains a fundamental concern in forestry as a significant driver of resource
availability for tree growth. The site index (SI) reflects the overall impact of all environmental …

Tropical forest degradation makes a major contribution to greenhouse gas emission. Crown
width (CW) is one of the important predictors in forest growth and yield models that provide …

Site index is the most commonly used measure of potential site productivity, providing key
information for forest management practices. It is determined using species-specific site …

Key message A climate-sensitive aboveground biomass model developed by combining a
nonlinear mixed-effects model and dummy variable approach led to higher prediction …

The spread of remote sensing technologies allows for continuous and precise mapping of
forest ecosystem attributes over large areas. One of the most important attributes of a forest …
