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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of climate change on natural forest productivity – evidence since the middle of the 20th century
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a concise overview of the climate controls of forest production, provide evidence of how the main controls have changed in the last 55 years, and outline their findings of observed and documented impacts on forest productivity and a brief discussion of the complications of interpreting trends in net primary production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring individual tree crown diameter with lidar and assessing its influence on estimating forest volume and biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed reliable processing and analysis techniques to facilitate the use of small-footprint lidar data for estimating tree crown diameter by measuring individual trees identifiable on the three-dimensional lidar surface.

Assessing tree and stand biomass: a review with examples and critical comparisons
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed quantitative principles and gave specific examples for prediction of tree biomass, including additive and harmonization, and weight-ratio and density-integral approaches.

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.
