A growth model for quercus frainetto (Ten) in Greece

Abstract

The general objective of this study was to introduce the contemporary technology and state of the art in individual tree growth models as a new tool for forest management in Greece. Specific objectives of this work were: (1) To study the existing modelling theory and define the proper theoretical modelling framework for the Quercus frainetto stands. (2) To develop individual tree distance-dependent growth and mortality models for pure, even-aged coppice Q. frainetto stands and stands under conversion into high forests. (3) To develop form factor and taper equation models that can be used for volume calculations and production of assortment tables for Q. frainetto stands. (4) To adapt the MOSES software to a new prototype forest simulator capable of quantifying the stand growth characteristics, relationships and dynamics in natural Q. frainetto stands in Greece. Data for this study came from 18 permanent experimental plots established in even-aged stands with age variations at the year ...
