Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "European Journal of Forest Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s10342-018-1151-y
Abstract: AbstractIn this review, the unique features and facts of long-term experiments are presented. Long-term experimental plots provide information of forest stand dynamics which cannot be derived from forest inventories or small temporary plots. Most comprise… read more here.

Forest stand structure and functioning: Current knowledge and future challenges
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecological Indicators"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.11.017
Abstract: Abstract Species diversity is a part of (forest) stand structure but tree diameter diversity and height diversity alone or combined are typically defined as stand structural diversity or complexity or attribute(s). There is increasing evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2016.11.023
Abstract: Abstract Our investigation aims (1) to derive a dynamic model for mean volume and biomass growth projection over time, considering the competition-induced tree mortality (dynamic size-density model), (2) to design a compatible two-component modelling system… read more here.

Looking beyond the mean: Drivers of variability in postfire stand development of conifers in Greater Yellowstone

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.08.034
Abstract: Abstract High-severity, infrequent fires in forests shape landscape mosaics of stand age and structure for decades to centuries, and forest structure can vary substantially even among same-aged stands. This variability among stand structures can affect… read more here.

Rethinking maximum stand basal area and maximum SDI from the aspect of stand dynamics

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118462
Abstract: Abstract The maximum stand basal area (BA) and maximum stand density index (SDI) are often used to express stand carrying capacity in forestry. But their definitions are inconsistent in the literature. The maximum stand BA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-16100-2
Abstract: Our study focusses on investigating a modern modelling paradigm, a bivariate stochastic process, that allows us to link individual tree variables with growth and yield stand attributes. In this paper, our aim is to introduce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/forsci/fxz069
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the effects of juvenile spacing (precommercial thinning), thinning, and fertilization on Douglas-fir butt log (first 4.9 m) and second log (4.9–10 m) quality attributes: juvenile wood percentage, heartwood percentage, rings… read more here.

Changes in the anatomy, morphology and mycorrhizal infection of fine root systems of Cryptomeria japonica in relation to stand ageing

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpw076
Abstract: Biomass allocation to fine roots often increases under soil nutrient deficiency, but the fine root biomass does not often increase in old stands, even under nutrient limitation. Therefore, in old stands, the morphology, anatomy, branching… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lgrs.2022.3186544
Abstract: Crop stand count plays an important role in modern agriculture as a reference for precision management and plant breeding. In this study, a new network—IntegrateNet—was proposed to supervise the learning of density map and local… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2019-0171
Abstract: This study addresses a situation in which a forest manager has been using a whole-stand model that seems to predict well for their stands and now wants to derive an individual-tree model from it to... read more here.
