Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides
insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and …

The future development of forest ecosystems depends critically on tree mortality. However,
the suitability of empirical mortality algorithms for extrapolation in space or time remains …

Warmer and drier conditions increase forest mortality worldwide. At the same time, nitrogen
deposition, longer growing seasons and higher atmospheric CO 2 concentrations may …

Tree mortality as a crucial element of natural forest dynamics is still a poorly understood
process. Abrupt growth decreases are known to occur several years or decades before …

Drought has been frequently discussed as a trigger for forest decline. Today, large-scale
forest decline is observed at the rear edge of Mediterranean forests, with drought identified …

A logistic model for determining the probability of survival in the next 5-year period of two of
the main species in the Mediterranean area in Spain, Mediterranean maritime pine (Pinus …

Mortality is an important element of growth and yield models, especially if only low intensity
silvicultural treatments are carried out. The objective of the present study was to develop a …

Intraannual features or anomalies in the tree rings of woody species may provided useful
information for ecological and climatological studies. The frequency of intraannual density …

Multilevel logistic regression models were constructed to predict the 5-year mortality of Scots
pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and pubescent birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) growing in drained …

Survival of live retention trees is a key issue for stand-scale applications of natural-
disturbance-based silviculture. We explored the survival of 3255 trees in 102 cut areas …
