There is a strong movement towards uneven-aged forest management based on the idea that such stands increase or at least maintain soil fertility, increase biodiversity, and improve stand resilience. This shift in forest management practice renders existing yield tables increasingly unreliable. Among potential alternatives are tree growth models, because they predict the growth of each tree within a forest stand. This book summarizes three years of work related to the topic, carried out as a joint effort of leading tree growth modellers across Europe together with forest companies. By means of nine specific examples it demonstrates the problem-solving potential of tree growth modeling theory as required by various end-user groups.

Industry Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen:

"Dieses Buch stellt die Forschungsergebnisse eines dreijahrigen EU Verbundprojektes dar. ... Zu Beginn steht eine einfuhrende UEbersicht zu Konzepten ... die dem interessierten ... Leser einen orientierenden UEberblick gewahrt. ... Fallbeispiele gehen groesstenteils erfreulich ins Detail. ... Zusammenfassend ist festzustellen, dass ... fachfremde Wissenschaftler und anwendungsorientierte Praktiker einen fundierten UEberblick zum Stand der einzelbaumorientierten Wuchsmodellierung und zum Anwendungspotenzial der gangigen Waldwachstumssimulatoren in Europa bekommen. Die Lekture dieses Buches ist ... empfehlenswert. Auch als Referenz und Nachschlagewerk sollte es in einschlagigen Bibliotheken nicht fehlen."
