Lecture: Overview of forest models and simulators as a support to sustainable forest management in a global change context
  • Why are forest models needed?
  • Evolution of silviculture and of forest management
  • Components of forest models and simulators
  • Evolution of forest models and respective typology: growth and yield models vs process-based models; whole stand models, with and without simulation of diameter distributions; individual tree models
