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 کاملEvaluation of Ecological Vulnerability in Chelgard Mountainous Landscape
Although complexity and vulnerability assessment of mountain landscapes is increasingly taken into consideration, less attention is paid to ecophronesis-based solutions so as to reduce the fragile ecosystem vulnerability. The main propose of this study is to provide an insight of mountain complex landscape vulnerability and propose ecophronesis-based solutions in strategic planning framework fo...
متن کاملClimatic influences on fire regimes in ponderosa pine forests of the Zuni Mountains, NM, USA
We characterized fire history and examined climate–fire relationships in dry ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests in the Zuni Mountains of northwestern New Mexico. Our findings indicate that the historical wildfire regime for the study area was typified by high-frequency, low-severity surface fires. Climate–wildfire relationships were assessed using both Superposed Epoch Analysis (SEA) and ...
