TLDR
In this article, an integrated system of stand models has been developed in which models of different levels of resolution are related in a unified mathematical structure, and from them a set of growth and survival functions is derived to produce models structurally compatible at lower stages of resolution.About:

Modelling Forest Growth and Yield: Applications to Mixed Tropical Forests
TL;DR: There is a large body of work on the use of mixed plantations and natural forests in forest management as mentioned in this paper, and many approaches have been proposed to build a model for mixed forests.
Book
Modeling Forest Trees and Stands
TL;DR: In this paper, even-aged stands are modeled as whole-stands and size-class models for Even-aged Stands are used to evaluate individual-tree stand density.
Book
Forest growth and yield modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model of a tree-list model with a set of static and dynamic equations. But they do not consider the effect of the number of trees in the model.

TL;DR: In this paper, Fagus sylvatica et al. analyzed the interactions entre le climat and the competition, and quantified the effect of competition on the evolution of the croissance of arbres.

Evaluation of methods to predict Weibull parameters for characterizing diameter distributions
Krishna P. Poudel,Quang V. Cao +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and evaluated different methods of predicting parameters of Weibull distribution to characterize diameter distribution using data from the Southwide Seed Source Study, and the results showed that the modified CDF approach consistently provided better results than the SUR approach and was superior to the CDFR approach in all evaluation statistics but the Anderson-Darling statistic.

Prognosis Model for Stand Development
TL;DR: In this article, a set of computer programs for combining quantitative silvicultural knowledge with past growth data from a sampled stand to make a prognosis of the course of development that the forest stand is expected to follow under alternative management prescriptions is described.

Statistical distributions for fitting diameter and height data in even-aged stands
W. L. Hafley,H. T. Schreuder +1 more
TL;DR: The beta, Johnson's SB, Weibull, lognormal, gamma, and normal distributions are discussed in terms of their flexibility in the skewness squared (β1) − kurtosis (β2) plane to find the most flexible distributions.

A comparison of competition measures for predicting growth of loblolly pine trees
TL;DR: Five families of competition indices were evaluated and compared on the basis of simple correlation with loblolly pine individual tree growth and multiple correlation with growth in the presence of other tree and stand attributes to determine the best distance-dependent indices.
