The growth of one or more individuals in a forest is variable with the biotic and abiotic conditions environment. Therefore, objective this article was to obtain age estimates Araucaria angustifolia, different altitude gradients occurrence species, identify culmination points basal area. study covered three areas Forest Santa Catarina state, considering altitudes species. Non-destructive sample...

in the present study basal area and importance value index (ivi) attributes of herbage were investigated in chir pine (pinus roxburghii sargent) stands of three different ages and also in open grassland in the sub-tropical region of himachal pradesh (india) during growing season (june to september). a higher basal area of the herbage was recorded in open grassland as compared to chir pine stand...

An individual distance-independent girth increment model for pure stands of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (MIRB.) FRANCO), comprising two equations, is presented. The data used to fit the model were collected from 1007 trees in 42 plots installed in regularly stocked and even-aged stands located in Wallonia (southern Belgium). Both equations predict girth increment from individual girth, d...

This paper describes how the information of the key indicators for assessing the degree of forest reclamation success in ex coal-mining area was identified. Those indicators were analyzed using the descriptive statistic as well as the discriminant analysis on the basis of biophysical data representing age class of vegetation after reclamation. The main objective of the study was to find out the...

Urban trees have gained in importance during recent decades, but little is known about the temporal dynamic of tree growth in urban areas. The present study investigated the allometric relationships of stem diameter, tree height, and crown radius for six different tree species in six metropolises worldwide. Increment cores of the trees were used for identifying the relationship of basal area an...

Tree-rings are often assumed to approximate a circular shape when estimating forest productivity and carbon dynamics. However, tree rings are rarely, if ever, circular, thereby possibly resulting in under- or over-estimation in forest productivity and carbon sequestration. Given the crucial role played by tree ring data in assessing forest productivity and carbon storage within a context of glo...
