The introduction points out the very specific system characteristics of trees and forest stands
which determine the approach and methods to analyse and model forest stand dynamics …

In order to evaluate the impacts of alternative stand-level management scenarios on long-
term site productivity, forest resource managers need ecologically based forest growth …

This paper reviews scaling issues in forest succession modelling, focusing on forest gap
models. Two modes of scaling are distinguished:(1) implicit scaling, ie taking scale …

Approximately 42% of Canada is covered by forests, which in turn can be subdivided into
nine distinct forest ecozones. Many forested ecozones are located in northern Canada …

A very simple dynamic soil acidification model, VSD, is described, which has been
developed as the simplest extension of steady-state models for critical load calculations and …

A phosphorus resource crisis threatens the security of global crop production, especially in
developing countries like China and Brazil. Legacy phosphorus (legacy-P), which is left …

The content and status of phosphorus (P) in agricultural soil have become critical
environmental concerns because of the risk of excessive P reaching adjacent water bodies …

Fine root turnover is a critical component of below‐ground forest ecology, which regulates
nutrient dynamics, forest net primary productivity, carbon input to soils, and soil respiration …

Nitrogen (N) removal by vegetation uptake is one of the most important functions of riparian
buffer zones in preventing non-point source pollution (NSP), and many studies about N …

The transport characteristics of phosphorus in soil and the assessment of its environmental
risk have become hot topics in the environmental and agricultural fields. The Sanjiang Plain …
