Aim of study: The present study evaluates a set of competition indices including spatially
explicit indices combined with different competitor selection approaches and non-spatially …

As a consequence of the recent change in human land-use intensity in mountain territories
in the Italian Alps, many Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) subalpine forests have …

In this paper, we evaluated how well-selected distance-dependent and distance-
independent competition indices explain individual tree basal area growth of trees, growing …

Determining the competitor selection methods for spatial explicit competition indices is
important for individual tree growth modelling and forest management. There is a lack of …

Lack of knowledge of individual tree growth in species-rich, mixed forest ecosystems
impedes their sustainable management. In this study, species-specific models for predicting …

The objective of this study was to select and discuss indices to explain competition among
trees in an unmanaged stand in order to support decision-making in forest management …

Models that report the effect of competition are important for forest management since forests
with higher levels of competition have lower increment rates, and their use is necessary to …

En el sureste de México, los incendios forestales constituyen una amenaza para la
biodiversidad de las selvas tropicales húmedas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la …

Las dimensiones y características morfológicas de la copa de los árboles son indicadores
de la capacidad fotosintética y estas varían por efecto de la competencia en el rodal o …

Key message In the inner-Alpine Aosta Valley, severe growth reductions occurred in Scots
pine stands during 1987–1993 and 2003–2005. Trees more sensitive to May precipitation …
