Accurate information on the wood-quality characteristics of standing timber and logs is
needed to optimize the forest production value chain and to assess the potential of forest …

Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides
insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and …

Compared with other distribution functions, the Weibull distribution has been more widely
used in describing diameter distributions because of its flexibility and relative simplicity …

Both spatially explicit and spatially non-explicit individual tree crown width models were
developed for Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica …

Many current stand management guidelines propose low initial stand densities and strong
density reductions in order to lower the costs of stand establishment, to accelerate stand …

An individual-tree crown width model was developed with data from 2461 Cunninghamia
lanceolata trees in 103 sample plots located on a Huangfengqiao state-owned forest farm in …

A nonlinear mixed-effects modelling approach was used to model the individual tree height–
diameter relationship in pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica Willd.). A set of 24,627 pairs of …

Diameter increment model can be calibrated by predicting random components using data
from past growth measurements taken in a complementary sample of trees. Calibration is …

In this study, a distance-independent mixed model was developed for predicting the
diameter growth of individual trees in Mediterranean oak (Quercus pyrenaica Willd.) …

The effects of thinning intensity on the basal area and volume increment, as well as on the
stem form and crown height, of individual Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees were …
