ABSTRACT In this project, we incorporated a robust snag dynamics submodel into SORTIE-ND, a version of the spatially explicit, individual tree model SORTIE (Pacala et al. 1996;... -
Competition and Tree Crowns: A Neighborhood Analysis of Three Boreal Tree Spe...
ABSTRACT Competition for canopy space is a fundamental structuring feature of forest ecosystems and remains an enduring focus of research attention. We used a spatial... -
Development of a Spatially Explicit Crown Model
ABSTRACT Recent changes in forest management goals have led to a diversification of silvicultural practices to maintain complex, mixed-species stands. Managing such stands... -
