Description and Table of Contents
Description
In a managed woodland, the most important periodic disturbances are the thinning operations, which are often carried out at regular intervals and which usually have a significant effect on the future evolution of the resource. One of the main features of this book is its inclusion of thinning models at varying levels of resolution and consideration of differences in a forester's tree marking behaviour. Other interesting aspects include regional resource forecasting approaches, generalized stem taper functions, generalized diameter-height relations, new ways of describing and reproducing forest spatial structures, crown modelling and iterative competition modelling. Worked examples and codes are provided where appropriate. The intended readership is graduate students.
