A Basal Area Increment-Based Approach of Site Productivity Evaluation for Multi-Aged and Mixed Forests
Accurate estimates of forest site productivity are essential for environmental planning and forest management. In this study, we developed a new productivity index, hereafter termed basal area potential productivity index (BAPP), to estimate site productivity for irregular and complex forests characterized by multi-aged, multi-species, and multi-layer stands. We presented the biological relevan...

متن کاملThe development of a simple basal area increment model
In most cases forest practice in Austria use yield tables to predict the growth of their forests. Common yield tables show the increment of pure even-aged stands which are treated in a way the table developer recommends. The usage of these tables in stands which are either unevenaged, mixed or treated in another way, may lead to inaccurate predictions. To avoid these problems, forest growth mod...
متن کاملAn Area-Based Matrix Model for Uneven-Aged Forests
In this paper a new concept for modeling uneven-aged forests (UEAF) is presented. The term UEAF in this article encloses all forests that deviate from the even-aged structure. The matrix model is area-based, in that the forest under study is described by a distribution of areas over fixed state-spaces spanned by stem number and volume per hectare classes. Dynamics is introduced as transitions o...
