Modelling is essential in forest management as it enables the prediction of productions and
yields, and to develop and test alternative models of silviculture. The allometry of trees …

Climate is an important driver of forest health, productivity, and carbon cycle, but our
understanding of these effects is limited for many regions and ecosystems. We present here …

Projects of reforestation for sustainable production of tropical timber and for nature-based
solutions must be based on reliable growth models. However, there is still a big gap in …

We propose a new deterministic growth model which captures certain features of both the
Gompertz and Korf laws. We investigate its main properties, with special attention to the …

Introduction Crown width (CW) is a significant variable of tree growth, but measuring crown
width is laborious and time-consuming. Diameter at breast height (D) is a commonly used …

Abstract Pinus dalatensis Ferré (Dalat pine, or five-needle pine, locally) is an endemic large
tree species of Vietnam that has both high timber and non-timber values. It is also a rare tree …

The prediction of biological processes, which involve growth and plant development, is
possible via the adjustment of mathematical models. In forest areas, these models assist in …

We developed a system for modeling the growth and yield of planted teak (Tectona grandis
Lf) for small diameter products under varying management regimes in the tropical Central …

The properties and short-term prediction accuracy of mathematical model of sigmoid time-
determinate growth, denoted as “KM-function”, are presented. Comparative mathematical …

We present a tool (KORFit) for fitting growth functions to empirical data, primarily for forest
management applications, but also can be applied in other biological fields. KORFit fits data …
