Types of growth and yield (G&Y) models, state variables and external variables:
- Whole stand models
- Whole stand models with simulation of diameter distribution
- Individual tree models
  1. State Variables & Modules
  2. Competition Indices
  3. Thinning Algorithms
  4. Implementing mortality and thinning
  5. The specificity of cork oak and the SUBER model

In order to get familiar with the Portuguese growth and yield models, the students must use the material that is available at the FCTOOLS site (you will access it easily by typing FCTOOLS in google):
