Short description:

This book summarizing tree growth modelling theory and its application in Europe is unique in presenting for the first time a platform developed by leading tree growth modelling groups in Europe together with potential end users, represented by 15 European companies. That program promotes and implements a tree growth modelling theory necessary for managing uneven-aged and/or mixed species stands.

Long description:

There is a strong movement towards uneven-aged forest management based on the idea that such stands increase or at least maintain soil fertility, increase biodiversity, and improve stand resilience. This shift in forest management practice renders existing yield tables increasingly unreliable. Among potential alternatives are tree growth models, because they predict the growth of each tree within a forest stand. This book summarizes three years of work related to the topic, carried out as a joint effort of leading tree growth modellers across Europe together with forest companies. By means of nine specific examples it demonstrates the problem-solving potential of tree growth modeling theory as required by various end-user groups.



Aus den Rezensionen:



"Dieses Buch stellt die Forschungsergebnisse eines dreijährigen EU Verbundprojektes dar. ? Zu Beginn steht eine einführende Übersicht zu Konzepten ? die dem interessierten ? Leser einen orientierenden Überblick gewährt. ? Fallbeispiele gehen größtenteils erfreulich ins Detail. ? Zusammenfassend ist festzustellen, dass ? fachfremde Wissenschaftler und anwendungsorientierte Praktiker einen fundierten Überblick zum Stand der einzelbaumorientierten Wuchsmodellierung und zum Anwendungspotenzial der gängigen Waldwachstumssimulatoren in Europa bekommen. Die Lektüre dieses Buches ist ? empfehlenswert. Auch als Referenz und Nachschlagewerk sollte es in einschlägigen Bibliotheken nicht fehlen."
