Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current
scientific literature and provides insights in how models are
constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and
outlining keys for successful implementation of models the book
provides a thorough and up-to-date, single source reference for
students, researchers and practitioners requiring a current digest
of research and methods in the field.
The book describes current modelling approaches for predicting
forest growth and yield and explores the components that comprise
the various modelling approaches. It provides the reader with the
tools for evaluating and calibrating growth and yield models and
outlines the steps necessary for developing a forest growth and
yield model.
* Single source reference providing an evaluation and synthesis
of current scientific literature
* Detailed descriptions of example models
* Covers statistical techniques used in forest model
construction
* Accessible, reader-friendly style
