A tree-growth model to optimize silviculture
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present the description of a simplified model of the dynamic of a mono-specific even-aged forest. The model studied is a tree-growth model based on a system of two ordinary differential equations concerning the tree basal area and the number of trees. The analytical study of this model permits us to predict the behavior of the system solutions. We are trying to highlight the influence of economic parameters and growth parameters on the system solutions, in the framework of the optimization of silviculture.

Evaluation of different growth media for tomato seedlings to optimize production and water use
ABSTRACT- Soilless cultivation systems are used to attain higher performance, improve crop quality, conserve water and land, and protect the environment better. This study has attempted to use some agricultural wastes and organic matter, and management practices to optimize water holding capacity of cultural media, which are suitable for the growth of tomato seedlings (Solanum lycopersicum.). F...
متن کاملLong-Term Susceptibility of Even- and Uneven-Aged Northern Hardwood Stands to Partial Windthrow
While uneven-aged silviculture may appear preferable to even-aged silviculture in terms of stand susceptibility to windthrow (major wind damage), the scientific evidence is equivocal on this issue, because the two systems do not operate over the same time frame. The goal of this study was to evaluate the windthrow susceptibility of evenand uneven-aged stands over a 100-year period. Susceptibili...

متن کاملA Mixed Integer Programming Approach to Optimal Feeder Routing for Tree-Based Distribution System: A Case Study
A genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize a tree-structured power distribution network considering optimal cable sizing. For minimizing the total cost of the network, a mixed-integer programming model is presented determining the optimal sizes of cables with minimized location-allocation cost. For designing the distribution lines in a power network, the primary factors must be considered as m...
متن کاملDominance and Stand Structure Analyses of a GXE Interaction Trial
Intra-specific competition of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) is a key factor for individual tree development. Liu and Burkhart (1994) indicated that at the seedling stage environmental gradients dominate on tree growth, where intraspecific competition dominate later stages of the stand. However, little information has been provided on how genetic material and intensive silviculture interactions af...
