TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed six species-specific equations for estimating the total aboveground volume of trees, including merchantable volume, branches and twigs, using circumference at breast height and total height as independent variables.

TL;DR: In this article, an operational approach based on available software allowing the retrieving of TLS volume with low bias and high accuracy for large tropical trees was presented. But the results of the obtained models proved necessary to account for the complexity of buttressed parts of tree trunks, which were separately modelled through a meshing approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed objective definitions of the main phenological events occurring during wood formation, i.e. the beginning and ending of the cell enlarging and maturing phases and the beginning of cell mature phase.

TL;DR: Fagacees as discussed by the authors is a tree growth model for pure Oak or Beech stand management in even-aged high forests and coppice with standards forests. It can be classified as a distance-independent tree-centered model.

TL;DR: Overall, strategies classified as “mitigation” were favored, while strategies falling into the “adaptation”-category were limited to the youngest age-classes in the optimal solution.
