Phenotyping has been a reality for aiding the selection of optimal crops for specific
environments for decades in various horticultural industries. However, until recently …

Phenotype describes the physical, physiological and biochemical characteristics of
organisms that are determined or influenced by genes and environment. Accurate extraction …

Thinning is a forest management activity that regulates the competition between the trees
within a forest. However, the effect of different thinning treatments on competition is largely …

The competitive stress of individual trees can be quantified by considering their positions
and dimensions such as diameter at breast height (dbh) and height with respect to their …

Individual-tree-based models (IBMs) have emerged to provide finer-scale operational
simulations of stand dynamics by accommodating and/or representing tree-to-tree …

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 …

Eucommia ulmoides Oliver has been used extensively in many fields. To satisfy increasing
demand, great efforts must be made to further improve its traits. However, limited information …

Novel genetic accessions of Eucalyptus polybractea from a previously untested, hotter and
drier part of the species' natural range were tested in a common garden trial at a semi-arid …

Representing the spatial distribution of trees and competition interactions in growth models
improves growth prediction and provides insights into spatially explicit forecasts for precise …

Abstract Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.), is a highly valuable commercial tree
species in Ireland, UK and elsewhere in Europe but there is relatively little information …
