Individual-based forest ecology and management, where the focus is on individual plants in
the context of their populations, draws on a large body of different quantitative methods that …

Inter-tree competition can be assessed using relatively simple indices derived from tree
diameters, heights and locations, but they have often been found to be deficient for …

Many spatiotemporal data record the time of birth and death of individuals, along with their
spatial trajectories during their lifetime, whether through continuous-time observations or …

The global climate and biodiversity crisis has led to extensive restoration initiatives, calling
for cost‐effective strategies harnessing the potential of natural processes. Natural …

Background and Objectives: Continuous cover forestry is of increasing importance, but
operational forest growth models are still lacking. The debate is especially open if more …

Understanding and modelling plant interactions is an important field in quantitative forest
ecology. Many spatially explicit techniques have been devised for shedding light into these …

Continuous cover forestry (CCF) is forest management based on ecological principles and
this management type is currently re-visited in many countries. CCF woodlands are known …

Very few spatially explicit tree models have so far been constructed with a view to project
remote-sensing data directly. To fill this gap, we introduced the prototype of the …

Trees compete for light by extending their crowns and shading shorter trees. A simple
cellular model was developed to emulate this process. The model was able to replicate the …

The growth rate of a tree at any time relates to its size and the level of competition exerted by
its neighbors for the resources it needs for growth. This work describes the development of a …
