Effects of climate and plant functional types on forest above-ground biomass accumulation [PDF]
BackgroundForest above-ground biomass (AGB) accumulation is widely considered an important tool for mitigating climate change. However, the general pattern of forest AGB accumulation associated with age and climate gradients across various forest ...

Modeling Forest Stand Dynamics, Growth and Yield [PDF]
The world’s forests are diverse and serve myriad purposes; however, regardless of the management objective, reliable models of forest stand dynamics, growth and yield are required [...

Dynamics of Foliar Responses to O3 Stress as a Function of Phytotoxic O3 Dose in Hybrid Poplar
With background concentrations having reached phytotoxic levels during the last century, tropospheric ozone (O3) has become a key climate change agent, counteracting carbon sequestration by forest ecosystems.

Distinguishing Abrupt and Gradual Forest Disturbances With MODIS-Based Phenological Anomaly Series
Capturing forest disturbances over time is increasingly important to determine the ecosystem's capacity to recover as well as aiding a timely response of foresters.

Forest dynamics encompass changes in stand structure, species composition, and species interactions with disturbance and environment over a range of spatial and temporal scales. For convenience, spatial scale is defined as individual tree, neighborhood, stand, and landscape.

Conceptual models of forest dynamics in environmental education and management : keep it as simple as possible, but no simpler [PDF]
Background Conceptual models of forest dynamics are powerful cognitive tools, which are indispensable for communicating ecological ideas and knowledge, and in developing strategic approaches and setting targets for forest conservation ...

Dynamic Integration with Random Forests [PDF]
Random Forests (RF) are a successful ensemble prediction technique that uses majority voting or averaging as a combination function. However, it is clear that each tree in a random forest may have a different contribution in processing a certain instance.

The concept of describing the process of self-thinning stands is considered from the standpoint of the general theory and methods of modeling the dynamics of biological populations and communities. Heterogeneity is one of the fundamental factors that determine the population dynamics of both the evolutionary time, and at the level of the lifetime of ...
