Development of a hybrid modeling framework for intensively managed Douglas-fir plantations in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Weiskittel, Aaron R.

Abstract:

Forest growth models in the Pacific Northwest are predominantly empirical. Predictions of yield under alternative silvicultural regimes cannot rely completely on field trials; yet empirical growth models are often inadequate for extrapolating untested regimes and genotypes. The limitations of current models include (1) long time-steps (e.g. 5-10 years); (2) insufficient...

Hierarchical analysis of spatial pattern and processes of Douglas-fir forests using wavelet analysis

Creator:

Bradshaw, G. A.

Abstract:

There has been an increased interest in the quantification of pattern in ecological systems over the past years. This interest is motivated by the desire to construct valid models which extend across many scales. Spatial methods must quantify pattern, discriminate types of pattern, and relate hierarchical phenomena across scales. Wavelet...
