Timber Yield and Spatial Trunk Arrangement in Artificial Forests Experiments and Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of cooperative effect and competition between trees in forest has been considered. Special attention has been paid to the possibility of twofold increase in timber yield due to the dramatic decrease of intraspecific competition between individual trees. Use has been made of a large experimental area (about 50.000 hectares in mountainous Kirghizia) to demonstrate that the drastic increase in timber yield takes place if the number of trees in the planting unit, spacing between individuals within the planting unit and spacing between the planting units correlate with sufficient precision. The phenomenon has been analyzed by means of computer models developed. A theoretical interpretation of the phenomenon has been suggested.

/ Spatially explicit models that combine remote sensing with geographic information systems (GIS) offer great promise to land managers because they consider the arrangement of landscape elements in time and space. Their visual and geographic nature facilitate the comparison of alternative landscape designs. Among various activities associated with forest management, none cause greater concern t...
