Creator:: Osborne, Nathaniel L.
Abstract:: Forest growth and yield models are critical to supporting decision making in forestry, but often lack considerations for wood properties. The feasibility of simulating wood properties in the context of a Douglas-fir individual tree growth and yield model was evaluated. This assessment explored the effect of predicted sapwood width, stem...

Creator:: Joo, Sukhyun
Abstract:: Estimating volume gains in genetically improved stands at rotation age is challenging because first-generation progeny tests in Douglas-fir were typically established to measure the relative growth performance of individual trees from open-pollinated parent trees. The overall goal of this dissertation research was to improve growth simulation of genetically improved Douglas-fir...

Creator:: Uranga, Martin
Abstract:: Two key challenges emerge when initiating individual-tree growth models for bare ground or very young plantations. Both involve the need for a list of individual trees with known or predicted size and known expansion factor (number of trees per unit of area represented by each tree). In the case of...
